The Raiders have ruled LB Denzel Perryman out for the 2nd straight game with his ankle injury. That should clear the way for rookie Divine Deablo to start in his place again. Deablo, a converted safety, has delivered double-digit tackles each of the past 2 weeks -- including the game Perryman left early with his injury. Deablo makes for a nice play in tackle-friendly IDP formats.

The Raiders have activated LB Denzel Perryman, LB Cory Littleton and CB Casey Hayward from the COVID list. Perryman is the only guy among the trio who carries IDP value. He'll belong in most lineups against what should be a run-heavy Colts offense.

The Raiders on Monday added multiple defensive starters to the COVID list. LB Denzel Perryman and CB Casey Hayward were the biggest names. LB reserves Cory Littleton and K.J. Wright went onto the list as well, which already had CBs Brandon Facyson and Nate Hobbs on it. Hobbs has been on the list since Dec. 20 and Facyson since Dec. 22, so they should be back ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis. We'll see whether any of this week's additions can make it back. IDP managers should plan to be without Perryman, though. That absence would return Divine Deablo to the spotlight.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) is active for today's game against the Broncos. That should knock Divine Deablo out of the starting lineup.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman is questionable for Sunday's game after returning for a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday. Perryman missed the past 2 games with the injury. His return would push Divine Deablo back to a reserve role.

As expected, Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) is inactive for today's game against the Chiefs. He entered the day doubtful.
