Jalen Nailor Jalen Nailor Two catches in loss
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:21 PM
Nailor caught two of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Nailor was a non-factor on offense in Week 9, failing to reach double-digit receiving yards for the fourth time this season. The wide receiver has had a hard time getting into a groove in his first season with Las Vegas, catching 14 of 28 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown over eight contests so far. |
Michael Mayer Michael Mayer Three catches in loss
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:18 PM
Mayer caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The tight end was inches and a couple breaks away from having a much bigger afternoon, as he lost a fumble just before crossing the goal line on what would have been a 25-yard touchdown. He then had another score called back on a penalty in the second half. Mayer has alternated big games with down ones this season, and he'll try to rebound next Sunday in a tough spot against the Seahawks' strong defense. |
Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Unproductive against Niners
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:57 PM
Washington turned six carries into minus-three yards in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The rookie running back wasn't targeted in the passing game. One week after getting a trial run as the Raiders' clear lead back, a game in which he failed to produce with 25 carries, Washington was out-snapped 32 to 17 by Ashton Jeanty against San Francisco. Washington has done nothing to suggest he's warranted more carries for Las Vegas. He's averaging just 3.9 yards per carry on 71 totes this season and has shown nothing as a pass catcher. Washington is nothing more than a fantasy bench stash, but the Raiders' rushing attack seems broken as a whole. |
Tre Tucker Tre Tucker Four catches in defeat
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:53 PM
Tucker caught four of eight targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Tucker finished tied for the team lead in targets with tight end Brock Bowers, garnering at least five targets for the fourth time in the fifth time in the team's last six contests. The wide receiver rebounded well after being blanked in Week 8 versus the Jets, securing four or more receptions for the seventh time this season. Tucker has now reeled in 33 of 56 targets for 529 yards and four touchdowns over the Raiders' first nine games during the 2026 campaign. |
Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty Matches Washington with six carries
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:04 PM
Jeanty rushed six times for 25 yards while catching five of seven targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The Raiders largely abandoned the run after going down 14-0 early, but Jeanty was more effective with his six carries than Mike Washington, who rushed six times for minus-3 yards and finished without a target. Sunday's even distribution in carries was a positive development for Jeanty, who had just two rushing attempts to Washington's 25 in the Week 8 win over the Jets. Jeanty still has more receiving yards (371) than rushing yards (362) and is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry heading into a difficult Week 10 matchup against Seattle's elite front seven. |
Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins Picked off three times in Week 9 loss
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:03 PM
Cousins completed 22 of 32 passes for 216 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed twice for no gain and scored a rushing touchdown.
Analysis: Cousins made numerous costly mistakes as the Raiders tried in vain to catch up after falling in an early 14-0 hole. He threw a pick-six on the first play of the second half and capped both of Vegas' fourth-quarter possessions with end-zone interceptions. The 38-year-old Cousins has staved off calls for rookie first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to take over the starting role by producing 21 total TDs through nine starts, including a two-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and 21-yard touchdown pass to Brock Bowers in the third quarter Sunday. The Raiders have gone 1-5 after a 3-0 start, and the calls for Mendoza could grow louder if Vegas' struggles persist in Week 10 against the Seahawks. |
Brock Bowers Brock Bowers Big numbers in lopsided loss
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 7:17 PM
Bowers caught seven of eight targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed once for two yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Bowers had a 21-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter and came one yard short of scoring again on a 33-yard catch on a fourth-quarter drive that ended with a Kirk Cousins interception in the end zone. The star TE has reached 70 receiving yards in all seven of his appearances this season and is up to six touchdowns. Bowers came five receiving yards shy of his season high and continues to roll, even as the 4-5 Raiders drop out of contention in the AFC. He'll likely face more resistance in Week 10 against the Seahawks, who just held Cardinals TE Trey McBride to 54 yards. |
Done for the day
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:55 PM
Zuhn (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Las Vegas' matchup versus the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Zuhn is done for the day after sustaining a concussion in the third quarter. Caleb Rogers has taken over at right guard in his absence, and Zuhn will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can return to the field. |
|
Dealing with head injury
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:35 PM
Zuhn is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
Analysis: Zuhn took a blow to the head in the third quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Caleb Rogers has taken over at right guard versus San Francisco. |
Dont'e Thornton Jr. Dont'e Thornton Jr. Healthy scratch
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 2:31 PM
Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Thornton recovered from a back injury Friday and entered the weekend with no injury designation. The wide receiver's inactive status, despite his health, points to some other motive from coach Klint Kubiak. Dareke Young is set to be the No. 4 wide receiver in Thornton's place. |

Cleared to suit up in San Francisco
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 2:26 PM
Porter (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 9 battle against the 49ers.
Analysis: Porter suffered a groin injury last Sunday against the Jets and logged a DNP/LP/FP practice progression this week. He was questionable to suit up entering Sunday but will ultimately be able to give it a go. Porter ranks second on the Raiders with five defensed passes on the season. |
Malik Benson Malik Benson Inactive again Week 9
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 2:23 PM
Benson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's battle against San Francisco.
Analysis: It's the second straight week the rookie wideout is a healthy scratch. Benson hasn't been able to gain much traction in the offense this season, as he's notched just two catches for 12 yards on nine targets through seven games. He's also contributed as a punt returner, and Dylan Laube could assume that role in Benson's absence Sunday. |
Aidan O'Connell Aidan O'Connell Working as emergency QB again Week 9
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 2:19 PM
O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus San Francisco.
Analysis: O'Connell has regularly been Las Vegas' emergency QB this season and has yet to log any game action. He won't be able to enter Sunday's matchup unless both Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Missing Week 9 matchup
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 9:51 PM
Booker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Booker was limited in practice Wednesday, then sat out the sessions Thursday and Friday entirely. He's thus set to miss his first game of the campaign. Booker typically plays one-third to one-half of Las Vegas' defensive snaps, and Tonka Hemingway may be asked to log a bigger workload with Booker sidelined. |
|
Dont'e Thornton Jr. Dont'e Thornton Jr. Good to go for Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 7:35 PM
Thornton (back) does not have a designation for Sunday's battle against San Francisco, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Thornton was activated from IR last Tuesday but was a healthy scratch Sunday versus the Jets. He picked up a back injury that resulted in a limited practice Thursday this week, but with a return to full participation Friday, the second-year wideout will be available to face the 49ers. However, it's unclear if he'll suit up Sunday given his healthy scratch last weekend. |
|
Questionable with groin issue
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 6:14 PM
Porter (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Porter continues to deal with the groin injury he suffered early in the first quarter of the Raiders' Week 8 win over the Jets. If the cornerback cannot suit up for Sunday's contest, Jermod McCoy or Hezekiah Masses will likely start at outside cornerback across from Eric Stokes. |

Notches 12 takedowns in victory
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 8:52 PM
Dean recorded 12 total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 38-33 victory against the Jets.
Analysis: Dean was able to notch exactly 12 stops for the fourth game in a row and fifth time this season. The linebacker is out to a great start to his first campaign in Las Vegas, registering 80 total tackles (38 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding an interception and three forced fumbles over eight contests so far. |
|
Double-digit stops in win
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 8:46 PM
Chinn recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Chinn had quite a day in Week 8, finishing second on the team in takedowns while also jumping in front of a deep ball from Jets quarterback Geno Smith for the safety's first interception of the year. Chinn has now compiled 56 total tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and an interception over eight contests so far during the 2026 campaign. |
Cody White Cody White Back with Las Vegas
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:36 PM
White was signed by the Raiders on Thursday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: White was released by the team Tuesday to make room for Carter Runyon (foot), who was activated off injured reserve. With Runyon now waived and potentially joining the Raiders' practice squad, White was re-signed. To date, the 27-year-old has had the best season of his career, amassing eight catches (19 targets) for 112 yards and three touchdowns. |
|
Dont'e Thornton Jr. Dont'e Thornton Jr. Limited practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:11 PM
Thornton (back) was a limited participant at the Raiders' practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Thornton was added to the injury report with an apparent back injury after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The fact that the wide receiver was able to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, but he will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. |
