CB Nate Hobbs injury update

Hobbs returned to practice on Thursday. He was limited.

“He’s trending in a really good direction,” head coach Antonio Pierce said of Hobbs Friday morning. “Practiced all day yesterday. He did really good, very fluid. Had a good walkthrough right here. We’ll see how he comes out today, but I’d anticipate him playing, starting and giving us that boost we really need in the secondary.”

The team’s standout slot cornerback was lost to an ankle injury in Week nine and has missed the past four games. The equivalent of a trip to injured reserve which means he was out longer than the team initially expected.

Is Nate Hobbs playing today? Injury updates for Raiders CB

Raiders CB Nate Hobbs is dealing with an ankle injury. Here are the latest updates.

The Raiders are in Miami to face a Dolphins team with some serious speed and talent on offense. But they’ll be without their top defensive back in that battle.

CB Nate Hobbs injury update

Hobbs was officially ruled OUT on the final injury report and thus will not play today.

He went out with an ankle injury against the Bengals before the Bye and was carted off the field. He hasn’t practiced this week at all and head coach Antonio Pierce said he is doubtful to play in the game.

Cornerback depth chart

The next man up at slot receiver will be Darnay Holmes who the Raiders signed off waivers just prior to the start of the season.

“Darnay is obviously familiar with the scheme. I’m familiar with him from way back in the day. He’s done a good job of just getting acclimated on special teams and obviously defensively he had a bigger role last week. If Nate is not able to go, that role will be covered.”

Holmes was a fourth round pick by the Giants back in 2020 out of UCLA and spent the past four seasons in New York, appearing in 63 games with 11 starts.

Pierce is likely familiar with Holmes having coached High School ball at Long Beach Poly while Holmes attended Calabasas High and then from coaching in the Pac-12 at Arizona State while Holmes was at UCLA.

He was quckly deemed Questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Hobbs is the best cornerback on the Raiders roster, so his loss is significant.
