Raiders, Patriots final Week 6 injury report: CB Nate Hobbs to miss third straight

Raiders CB Nate Hobbs to miss third straight. Meanwhile the Pats are without WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and DE Matt Judon

It’s getting closer to the time when the Raiders will have wished they just sent Nate Hobbs to injured reserve. The third-year cornerback suffered an ankle injury in the days leading up to their Week four games against the Chargers that caused him to miss that game. Now he will miss his third straight game when a trip to IR would have meant he missed four games.

Hobbs’s absence obviously makes the Raiders short-handed on defense. He is the best cornerback on the roster and their primary slot cornerback. The first three weeks, he was a starter along with Marcus Peters and Jakorian Bennett. It’s possible that come Sunday, Peters could be the one of those three on the field.

Bennett is Questionable for the game after being limited all week with a shoulder injury.

Last week against the Packers, it was Tyler Hall and Amik Robertson who received the bulk of the snaps at cornerback and that figures to be the case again.

Missing for the Patriots is Pro Bowl defensive end Matthew Judon (elbow) along with wide receivers Demario Davis and JuJu Smith-Schuster who both are OUT with concussions. A number of other players are Questionable.

Raiders, Patriots Thursday injury report: CB Nate Hobbs still not practicing

CB Nate Hobbs still not practicing for Raiders

The Raiders hit the practice field today for their first full practice in their short week to prepare for the Patriots. Not among them once again was starting slot cornerback Nate Hobbs.

Hobbs has missed the past two games with n ankle injury he suffered in practice just prior to the team’s Week 4 game against the Chargers. The injury clearly wasn’t deemed serious enough initially to place him on injured reserve which would have had him out for four weeks.

The Patriots were without three players in their second practice of the week. Among them were Matt Judon (elbow), WR Demario Douglas (concussion) and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion).

Raiders, Packers Friday injury report: Jimmy Garoppolo returns from concussion protocol

Raiders, Packers Friday injury report: Jimmy Garoppolo returns from concussion protocol

After a week sidelined by a concussion, Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo is in line to return Week 5 for the team’s Monday Night matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

Less certain is the status of WR Davante Adams (shoulder) and CB Nate Hobbs (ankle). Neither has practiced this week as they nurse injuries.

Hobbs missed last Sunday’s game against the Chargers while Adams suffered his shoulder injury early in the contest, returning just before half time and playing the rest of the way.

Raiders, Packers Thursday injury report: WR Davante Adams misses practice

After an extra dat of rest, the Raiders were back at it Thursday, starting their preparations for facing the Packers next Monday in Las Vegas.

Those preparations were without a couple of starters on each side of the ball. Davante Adams was missing with a shoulder injury he suffered in last Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. And Nate Hobbs was missing with an ankle injury he suffered late last week.

 

Adams returned to the game last Sunday after the injury scare. Thursday head coach Josh McDaniels said Adams and his shoulder are “doing better”.

“I’m not going to make any big prognostications in terms of that,” McDaniels continued. “but doing great, working at it and doing everything he can to get himself to where he wants to be. Won’t be out there today though.”

Davante spoke at the podium Thursday, which is a very good sign for his status this week.

Hobbs’s status is less certain. So too is the status of QB Jimmy Garoppolo who is still limited as he is still in the concussion protocol.

Raiders vs Chargers Thursday injury report: DE Maxx Crosby (knee) misses practice

Maxx Crosby (knee) misses practice while Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) returns limited

Good news and bad news for the Raiders on Thursday. Good news was Jimmy Garoppolo returned to practice. He is still in the concussion protocol and was limited. Bad news is Maxx Crosby missed practice with a knee injury.

Crosby had been limited on Wednesday, but was downgraded Thursday.

The Chargers were also without their best pass rusher. Joey Bosa has missed both practices so far this week with hamstring and toe injuries.

Also missing for the Chargers the past two days are TE Gerald Everett (illness), S Alohi Gilman (heel), S Derwin James (hamstring), and C Corey Linsley (illness).

All of the players missing for the Chargers are starters, so obviously any of them missing the game would be significant.

In addition, Austin Ekeler was limited while he continued to try and return from an ankle injury he suffered in the season opener.

Other Raiders players who missed practice were LB Curtis Bolton and S Roderic Teamer. Both are special teams standouts.

Raiders vs Chargers Wednesday injury report: QB Jimmy Garoppolo misses practice with concussion

QB Jimmy Garoppolo missed practice Wednesday with a concussion

As the Raiders prepare for their Week three matchup with the Chargers, they did so without their quarterback, who is in the concussion protocol.

Garoppolo played until the final snap for the Raiders in Sunday night’s loss to the Steelers, so it’s hard to say when exactly he suffered the concussion. The Raiders initially had him taking the podium after the game, but after waiting some time for him to come in, a Raiders official told us he would not be coming as he was being examined for a concussion.

Taking his reps in practice was veteran backup Brian Hoyer.

Also missing for the Raiders was special teams maven Curtis Bolton who left at half time of Sunday night’s game with a knee injury.

There were seven players missing from Chargers practice. How serious any of them are will become clearer Thursday when we see who was just getting a day of rest.

Raiders vs Steelers final injury report: DE Tyree Wilson (illness) Questionable

Raiders DE Tyree Wilson is officially Questionable with an illness vs Steelers

Friday saw Tyree Wilson a limited participant in practice. That was a step in the right direction for the rookie edge rusher who missed Wednesday and Thursday with an undisclosed illness. The team has officially listed him as Questionable for Sunday’s home opener against the Steelers.

It wouldn’t be a the worst thing if Wilson were to be shut down for Sunday’s game. Even at full strength over the first two games this season, he has a 0% win rate. If he is not 100%, that would not help things in that area.

Wilson was playing as much as he was because Chandler Jones has been out with personal issues. With Jones placed on the Non-Football Illness list, the top option to start at DE across from Maxx Crosby is Malcolm Koonce with practice squad DE Isaac Rochell again called up to rotate in.

The only player on the Steelers injury report is WR Gunner Olszewski who is Out with a concussion.

Tyree Wilson misses practice again with illness

For the second straight day, Tyree Wilson was not on the practice field for the Raiders. He was missing with an undisclosed illness.

Returning to practice from illness was fellow rookie Christopher Smith II. Meanwhile several others were upgraded from limited to full, including LB Divine Deablo, S Marcus Epps, and WR Jakobi Meyers. And Davante Adams was removed from the injury report altogether.

For the Steelers, they got back six of the eight players who missed practice on Wednesday. The only remaining players not practicing were WR Gunner Olszewski and DT Larry Ogunjobi.

Raiders, Steelers Wednesday injury report: Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers both practice

Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers both practiced today, each coming off concussion protocol.

A concussion near the end of the season opener had Jakobi Meyers miss the Raiders Week 2 game in Buffalo. Then a hard hit at the end of that game had Davante Adams evaluated for a concussion. Wednesday brought good news for both starting receivers.

Adams and Meyers both practiced today as the Raiders prepare to face the Steelers Sunday night, offering a strong indication they will be good to go this week.

The only players missing from practice were safety Christopher Smith II and defensive end Tyree Wilson. Both players were missing with an illness.

Chandler Jones’s absence from the injury report is due to the team placing him on the Non-Football Illness list and thus ruling him out for at least four weeks.

The Steelers had a very full injury report including S Minkah Fitzpatrick (chest), LB Markus Golden (knee), and DT Larry Ojunjobi (foot). We’ll see how many of the eight missing players return for Thursday’s practice.

Raiders vs Bills final injury report: WR Jakobi Meyers, DE Chandlers Jones both ruled OUT

Raiders will officially be without WR Jakobi Meyers and DE Chandlers Jones vs Bills Sunday.

After Jakobi Meyers and Chandlers Jones both missed the entire week of practices, the Raiders have ruled both players out for Sunday’s game in Buffalo.

Meyers suffered a concussion late in the season opener against the Broncos and was unable to practice all week.

His loss is significant considering he led the team last week with nine catches on ten targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

Candidates to replace Meyers as starting outside receiver include DeAndre Carter and Kristian Wilkerson. Meanwhile we could see increased snaps from Hunter Renfrow and perhaps the first appearance of rookie Tre Tucker who was inactive for the opener.

Jones has not practiced with the team for the past two weeks while he goes through some personal issues that had him putting out some very concerning social media posts. Still no word out his status going forward, but it doesn’t look good.

Last week the defensive end spot was filled by the combo of Malcolm Koonce and rookie Tyree Wilson with defensive tackle Jerry Tillery also sliding outside at times.

All other Raiders players who made appearances on the injury report this week were removed and are good to go.
