Raiders tight end Darren Waller played most of the team’s offensive snaps on their first two drives. He stood on the sideline for the third drive.

Waller has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return, the team announced.

He was on the practice report last week with a shoulder injury but had no designation for the game after practicing fully all week.

Waller has no catches, and Davante Adams has only one for a 58-yard touchdown. But Adams drew 48 yards in pass interference penalties on the Chiefs’ secondary on the team’s third drive.

Adams got Rashad Fenton for a 25-yard pass interference penalty on third-and-four at the Kansas City 42. Two snaps later, rookie Jaylen Watson didn’t turn around in the end zone on an underthrown pass intended for Adams. The 23-yard penalty set up the Raiders at the 1-yard line.

Josh Jacobs ran it in from there.

It has the Raiders off to a 14-0 lead on the Chiefs, who have not trailed at home by 14 points since Week 5 last year when they lost to the Bills 38-20.

The Chiefs have ruled out defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton with a knee injury.
