The Raiders' receiving corps took another hit Sunday. 

Brandon LaFell left the game with an Achilles injury and was ruled out of the game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Raiders receivers Martavis Bryant and Jordy Nelson both have knee injuries, and did not play Sunday. Seth Roberts and Marcell Ateman were the other two wide receivers remaining on the 53-man roster following LaFell's injury, and only Roberts had caught a pass this season entering Week 10.

Saeed Blacknall, like Ateman, is a rookie and was active for the first time Sunday. Should Bryant and Nelson's injuries linger, the Raiders might need to hit the free-agent market to avoid entering Week 11 with just three healthy receivers.

LaFell caught two passes (on three targets) for 29 yards and one touchdown Sunday. He has 15 catches for 135 yards overall this season.
