Las Vegas Raiders vs Cincinnati Bengals injury report and starting lineup - Wild Card Round

The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the few teams in the playoffs to have won a playoff game already in 2021. Of course, while the Sunday Night game didn't have an official "playoff" stamp on it, it was a "win or go home" scenario. Nothing changes for the team this week as they line up to face the Cincinnati Bengals.

One of the prerequisites for a run at the Super Bowl is to be playing well at the end of the season. Another is to be healthy. With that being said, how are the rosters and injury reports holding up for both teams heading into this one? Here's a look at each team, according to reports posted on CBS Sports.

Considering how many teams have suffered the season due to Covid-19 and various injuries, the Raiders are amazingly healthy after 18 weeks. However, their injury report is not spotless.
