Onwuasor (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Onwuasor is set for his second consecutive absence after suffering the hamstring injury in Week 12. He failed to practice in any capacity this week, so his potential to return in Week 15 is also unclear. K.J. Wright should be in for a heavy workload against Kansas City with Onwuasor sidelined.

Onwuasor (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 13 against Washington, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker missed three consecutive practices this week while dealing with the injury that he suffered in Week 12 against the Saints and will unsurprisingly be out for Week 13. Operating mostly as a special teams player, Onwuasor's absence doesn't come with a massive defensive impact.
