The Raiders placed RB Zamir White (quad) on IR. That ends his 2024 season with 183 rushing yards on 2.8 yards per carry across eight games. White should have been dumped from redraft rosters weeks ago and is not a must-hold in dynasty. We'll see if RB Alexander Mattison is ready to return from his ankle injury this week, but we're expecting the Raiders to stick with Sincere McCormick as their lead back regardless.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report. It was just a walkthrough for Vegas but means that Mattison has a chance to return for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs. RB Zamir White (quad) remained out on Tuesday. We'll keep you posted on this backfield over the next few days, but it's a situation to try to avoid with the Raiders 12-point underdogs against Kansas City's top-ranked RB defense.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) missed practice again on Thursday. We might be looking at another game of Zamir White as lead back against the Colts this weekend. We'll see if Jacobs gets on the field tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs' status for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers is "firmly in doubt," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jacobs did not practice at all this week with his quad injury. We have him projected to miss this game, leaving the backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah. We'll get Las Vegas' inactives a little before 7 pm ET tonight.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs did not practice on Tuesday. He's on the injury report with a quad, rather than the previously reported knee. Regardless, Jacobs doesn't look particularly likely to play vs. the Chargers on Thursday night. That'd leave RB Zamir White as Vegas' likely lead ball carrier, with RB Ameer Abdullah handling passing-game work.

The Athletic's Vic Tafur believes there's a "good chance [Raiders RB Zamir] White will get his first serious action of the season" vs. the Chiefs on Saturday. RB Josh Jacobs is listed as questionable with hip and oblique injuries and missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices due to a personal issue. The Raiders have nothing to play for in the finale, so it'd make sense for them to get a look at White -- especially with Jacobs set to hit free agency in March. White is only worth considering in Saturday DFS contests, but Jacobs' floor and ceiling is lower in Week 18 than it's been all season.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs hurt his right hand in the 2nd half of Thursday night's game against the Rams. He's officially questionable to return.

Update: Jacobs did return in the 3rd quarter.

For the 2nd straight week, Raiders RB Josh Jacobs cast aside a "questionable" tag and delivered a big game. Despite reporter warnings that the team would need to manage Jacobs' calf injury, he racked up 144 yards and a TD on 26 carries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Jacobs is working on a streak of 3 straight 100+ yard games and hasn't logged fewer than 21 carries since Week 9. He added 2 catches for 6 yards Sunday. RBs Zamir White and Amber Abdullah combined for just 3 touches against the Chargers. Week 14 brings a matchup with a Rams defense that expects to miss Aaron Donald for the 2nd straight game. The short turnaround could challenge Jacobs' calf ... though it looks like a calf-questionable Jacobs might be the best version of him.

Raiders RB Zamir White has missed the start of training camp with an undisclosed injury. The rookie shouldn’t be out for long, though. Citing a source, Tashan Reed of The Athletic wrote today that White is expected to practice “within the next week.” We’ll keep tabs on his progress upon returning.
