The Oakland Raiders will rely heavily on Denarius Moore if he's able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, but his status for Week 2 is still up in the air after he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Via Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, it appears that his fellow wideout Jacoby Ford will miss significant time after undergoing surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury on Wednesday. That makes Moore even more important to a struggling Oakland offense.
Moore was close to returning for the Monday night contest against the San Diego Chargers, but head coach Dennis Allen held him out as a precaution due to it being so early in the season.
Running back Taiwan Jones was also absent from the field on Wednesday after sustaining a rib injury on Monday vs. the Chargers. LB Rolando McClain and CB Ron Bartell missed practice due to shoulder and ankle injuries.
The now-infamous long snapper position appears to be in more trouble as Jon Condo, the starting long snapper, was missing on Wednesday with a concussion.
Of note for the Dolphins, backup running back Daniel Thomas did not practice at Miami's Wednesday session.
