Some details about Michael Mayer's absence from Raiders revealed

The Las Vegas Raiders have not had tight end Michael Mayer in the lineup for a few weeks now, as the former second-round pick has been out due to a personal matter. While it wasn't clear exactly what kept Mayer out, we now have at least some details about what's behind his absence, and it has nothing to do with his role with the team, which some speculated might be the cause. According to Your Boy Q on the Locked On Raiders Podcast (at the 25-minute mark of the linked episode), the Raiders didn't know what was going on with Mayer before his family reached out to the team, informing Las Vegas that the tight end is indeed dealing with a personal matter and "a situation that has occurred in his life before."
