Alexander Mattison is unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Buccaneers due to an ankle injury, marking his third consecutive absence. Despite limited practices, he hasn't shown enough readiness to return. With Zamir White also ruled out, the Raiders' backfield will rely on Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick, and Dylan Laube. Earlier in the season, Mattison had a chance to lead the backfield in Week 5 due to White's injury, showcasing his efficiency with a 5.1 yards per carry average compared to White's 3.1.

• Mattison's absence continues to impact the Raiders' running game.
• The Raiders are facing a challenging situation in their backfield with multiple injuries.
