Before being added to the COVID-19 list, Waller was suffering from knee and back injuries. He hasn’t played since Week 12 against the Cowboys because of his knee injury and COVID-19. Waller is second on the team in receiving yards with 643 and has caught two touchdown passes.
The Raiders are coming off a 23-20 win over the Colts that kept their postseason hopes alive. Zay Jones led the team in receiving yards, picking up 120 on eight catches.
Getting Waller back is a significant gain for Las Vegas, as he averages 5.3 catches and 64.3 receiving yards per game.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Raiders are +130 on the moneyline and a +3 on the spread against Los Angeles.
The Raiders-Chargers game was switched from daytime to primetime because the winner will advance to the playoffs.
