Raiders' Darnay Holmes: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Holmes was unable to practice Friday with what appears to be a newly acquired illness. The slot cornerback's ability to play Sunday will hinge on his immune system working quickly.
