Meyers, who was listed as questionable earlier in the week after missing practice and returned on a limited basis Friday, did not play in Kansas City and is expected to resume practice after the team’s bye week as he pursues a return to the lineup and evaluates his availability ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

Meyers said he still wants to be traded but that he is focused on playing while he remains with the Raiders. "Oh, for sure," he said when asked if he still wanted a trade.
