Michael Mayer Michael Mayer Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 5:53 PM
Mayer (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Mayer exited this past Sunday's loss to the Browns after logging 13 snaps on offense, and the tight end's DNP on Wednesday clouds his Week 13 status. Mayer now has two more chances to practice before the Raiders unveil their final injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. |

Tre Tucker Tre Tucker Logs limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 5:48 PM
Tucker (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Tucker was on the field for 95 percent of the Raiders' snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns en route to recording three catches on a team-high 10 targets for 28 yards. Following a limited practice listing Wednesday, the wideout now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Raiders post their Week 13 injury designations Friday. |

Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty Not listed on injury report
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 5:42 PM
Jeanty (ankle) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 13 injury report.
Analysis: Field Yates of ESPN previously noted that Jeanty emerged from Week 12 action with an ankle injury that he sustained late in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns, a game in which the running back recorded an 81 percent snap share while carrying 17 times for 50 yards and catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a TD. On Monday, coach Pete Carroll indicated that he didn't believe Jeanty's ankle issue was anything severe, a notion that has now been confirmed by the fact that the Raiders' lead back is working without restrictions ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers. |

Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty At practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:38 PM
Jeanty (ankle) participated in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jeanty, who tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, said Wednesday, "I feel good overall," which suggests that the issue isn't likely to affect the running back's availability for this weekend's game against the Chargers. A full practice listing by Friday would solidify that outcome. |

Ian Thomas Ian Thomas Notches season high in receptions
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 9:45 AM
Thomas caught all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Thomas assumed the TE2 role behind Brock Bowers after Michael Mayer exited the contest early due to an ankle injury, and Thomas took advantage of the opportunity with a season-high four receptions. Given the Raiders' affinity for 12 personnel, Thomas could be in line for a similar workload against the Chargers in Week 13 if Mayer remains sidelined. |

Dont'e Thornton Dont'e Thornton Makes 14-yard catch in loss
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 9:41 AM
Thornton caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Thornton continues to fill the Raiders' WR3 role ahead of fellow rookie Jack Bech, but once again, a 38 percent offensive snap share didn't translate to much fantasy production for Thornton. Meanwhile, Ashton Jeanty (ankle), Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker combined to see 27 total targets from quarterback Geno Smith. Thornton figures to remain a decoy against the Chargers in Week 13. |

Jack Bech Jack Bech Logs nine offensive snaps
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 9:32 AM
Bech was not targeted in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Bech played just nine offensive snaps while fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton logged 30 behind Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett. The Raiders subsequently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after falling to 2-9, but Bech isn't necessarily promised additional playing time moving forward, especially given Lockett's ties to coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith from their time together in Seattle. |

Raheem Mostert Raheem Mostert Three receptions in loss
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 9:23 AM
Mostert rushed once for two yards and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
Analysis: Mostert's outing was highlighted by an 18-yard reception on the Raiders' final drive of the contest, handling backfield duties after rookie Ashton Jeanty exited with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll indicated Jeanty's injury isn't believed to be severe, but if it impacts his availability for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Mostert could be in line for increased volume. |

Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty Dealing with ankle issue
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 1:49 PM
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, but it's not believed to be severe, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: When asked if the injury could limit Jeanty in practice this week ahead of next Sunday's game against the Chargers, Carroll said, "I haven't heard that it would yet. It sounds like there's a chance that he'll be okay." Despite the Raiders losing 24-10 to Cleveland, Jeanty still had a strong game, totaling 108 yards and one touchdown on 25 touches. He had a particularly strong game as a pass catcher, securing all eight of his targets for 50 yards and a score. If Jeanty would need to miss time, Raheem Mostert, Zamir White and Dylan Laube would be options out of the backfield. |

Brock Bowers Brock Bowers Gains 55 yards Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 7:40 PM
Bowers had six receptions on nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Bowers produced a modest receiving line while finishing second on the team behind WR Tre Tucker in targets (10) and RB Ashton Jeanty in receptions (eight). While the final results were digestible, Bowers' managers are left wondering what could have been had QB Geno Smith looked the star tight end's way more often instead of taking numerous unsuccessful deep shots to Tucker. Poor playcalling and quarterback play aside, Bowers remains an elite fantasy option week in, week out based on pure talent alone. Expect Bowers to remain a focal point of the passing offense for the struggling Raiders in next Sunday's road tilt against the Chargers. |

Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty Strong receiving numbers in loss
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 6:46 PM
Jeanty rushed 17 times for 50 yards while grabbing all eight of his targets for 58 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Jeanty was the lone bright spot on offense for the Raiders on Sunday, converting the team's only trip to the end zone in an yet another dismal group effort. The Boise State product understandably struggled on the ground (2.9 YPC) against one of the league's top defenses while running behind Las Vegas' porous offensive line. This has been an ongoing trend for Jeanty in his rookie season, with his last game averaging over four yards per carry coming back in Week 5. The 21-year-old salvaged what would have been a mediocre fantasy score by setting a new single-game high in receiving yards (58) and catching his fourth touchdown pass of the season (eighth overall). Jeanty will look for redemption next Sunday against the Chargers after being held to 44 yards on 14 touches when the two rivals from the AFC West met back in Week 2. |

Michael Mayer Michael Mayer Hurts ankle Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:55 PM
Mayer won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns after sustaining an ankle injury.
Analysis: Before his departure from the contest, Mayer caught his only target for 14 yards. In his absence, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon are available to handle TE reps behind Brock Bowers. |
|
Zamir White Zamir White Inactive again
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 1:51 PM
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Browns.
Analysis: White will be a healthy scratch for the sixth consecutive game. Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube are ahead of him on the depth chart. White has just 10 carries for 25 yards and no touchdowns in 2025. |

Aidan O'Connell Aidan O'Connell Emergency No. 3 QB
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 1:49 PM
O'Connell is the Raiders' inactive emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: The Raiders activated O'Connell -- who had fractured his right wrist in August -- from injured reserve Wednesday. Now that he's available, however, O'Connell is currently behind both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett in the Raiders' signal-caller pecking order. |

Aidan O'Connell Aidan O'Connell All clear for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 6:44 PM
O'Connell, who was activated off IR on Wednesday, does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.
Analysis: O'Connell will be eligible to play for the first time this season after spending the first 11 weeks of the campaign on IR while recovering from a fractured wrist. With that said, it's unclear what the Raiders plan to do at the quarterback position Sunday and beyond. Geno Smith is in line for another start, but it hasn't yet been clarified if O'Connell or Kenny Pickett will be the No. 2 QB against Cleveland this weekend. Beyond that, Smith has struggled this season, and the Raiders -- who enter Week 12 with a 2-8 record -- could eventually decide to give O'Connell and/or Pickett a look behind center in what has become a lost season. |

Aidan O'Connell Aidan O'Connell Activated from IR
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 1:45 PM
The Raiders activated O'Connell (wrist) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: O'Connell fractured his right wrist during the preseason and was out for more than two months before returning to practice at the end of October. Geno Smith's poor performance this season could open the door for O'Connell and/or Kenny Pickett to make starts down the stretch. |

Dylan Laube Dylan Laube No touches on offense in Week 11
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 9:34 AM
Laube went without a touch while playing one snap on offense and gained 94 yards on four kickoff returns in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: For the first time since Week 7, Laube saw action on offense, but he went unused while Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert took on all of the opportunities out of the backfield. While Laube will likely remain active as the Raiders' No. 3 back in future weeks, he'll continue to see the overwhelming share of his playing time on special teams. |

Ian Thomas Ian Thomas Rips off longest gain of season
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 9:30 AM
Thomas was on the field for 17 of the Raiders' 60 snaps on offense and recorded a 20-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Thomas' 20-yard catch and run in the first quarter represented his longest gain of the season and Las Vegas' second-longest play of the night. The 29-year-old has suited up in all 10 of the Raiders' games this season, but he remains the clear No. 3 tight end on the depth chart behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. |

Michael Mayer Michael Mayer Earns four targets in MNF loss
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 9:34 AM
Mayer caught three of four targets for 13 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Mayer played 77 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps as they continue leaning into 12 personnel, but his 4.3 yards per reception marked a season low, and fellow tight end Brock Bowers paced the team in receiving with a 7-72-0 line on 12 targets. Expect a similar level of involvement for Mayer against the Browns in Week 12. |

Jack Bech Jack Bech Makes 19-yard grab on MNF
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 9:17 AM
Bech caught his lone target for 19 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bech picked up a first down on his 19-yard reception in the first quarter of Monday's tilt, but he was relatively uninvolved thereafter, ultimately finishing the game with a 15 percent offensive snap share behind fellow receivers Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. Meanwhile, tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty combined for 20 targets, further limiting Bech's opportunities within this struggling Raiders offense. |
