The Denver Broncos are desperate to end a six-game losing streak, but could find themselves without several key starters as defensive end Adam Gotsis, linebacker Shane Ray, wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders, and nose tackle Domata Peko are all questionable for Sunday.

Although head coach Vance Joseph noted that Peko has an illness, so he will likely be good to go by Sunday’s game. The other three are questionable, but the good news is that cornerback Aqib Talib is a full go for this weekend.

For the Oakland Raiders, they will be without cornerback David Amerson and have four other players listed as questionable as well with wide receiver Johnny Holton, guard Gabe Jackson, linebacker Corey James, and wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson all nursing injuries this week.
