Raiders' Zamir White: Likely to lead ground attack Monday
White is expected to serve as the leader of Las Vegas' backfield committee Monday in Kansas City with Josh Jacobs (quadricep/illness) in line to miss a second consecutive game, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Though Jacobs took a small step forward in his recovery from the quad injury that kept him out of last Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers, turning in one limited practice this week, he's also working his way back from an illness and ultimately didn't make enough progress. Las Vegas got by just fine without its No. 1 back last week, as White stepped up with 17 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown to go with three receptions for 16 yards on four targets. Ameer Abdullah (six carries, two catches) also got more involved, while Brandon Bolden (two carries) saw his first snaps of the season on offense. Look for White to continue to lead the way on the ground versus Kansas City while Abdullah operates primarily as a pass-catching complement.
