Las Vegas Raiders

Quay Walker

LB

Walker played all 68 of the Raiders' defensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Bills, so it's not immediately clear when he picked up the injury. In any case, as long as he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll be in good shape to suit up Sunday versus the Rams.

Dont'e Thornton Jr.

WR

Thornton has now been practicing at full speed for two entire weeks, but he's still waiting to be officially activated from the Raiders' injured reserve list. The team has until the end of this week to move him back onto the active roster before he'd have to spend the rest of the campaign on IR by rule.

Mike Washington Jr.

RB

It's the first time this season Washington has been listed on the injury report, and it's unclear if his injuries are anything notable or just some general soreness. The rookie running back logged a season-high 34.8 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills, and he matched his season high with nine carries. Washington has appeared to be closing the gap some on Ashton Jeanty atop the depth chart, as Jeanty has been extremely inefficient with his rushing attempts this season.

Brock Bowers

TE

Bowers previously dealt with a knee injury this season, costing him the first two games of the campaign, but this is the first time he's been listed with hamstring and calf issues. It's certainly something to monitor with his injury history, but he can likely alleviate any concerns with a full, or even limited, practice Thursday. Bowers logged a season-high 98.5 percent of the offensive snaps in the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Bills. Michael Mayer and Tre Tucker would get significant boosts in the passing game should Bowers ever need to miss time.

Jeremy Chinn

S

Chinn finished second on the team in takedowns behind only linebacker Nakobe Dean (12), with the former notching double-digit tackles for the first time this season. Through six games in his second campaign with Las Vegas, the safety has registered 39 total tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Nakobe Dean

LB

Dean was able to record 12 stops for the second straight week and the third time this season. The linebacker is off to a hot start in his first campaign in Las Vegas, compiling 56 total tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three forced fumbles and a pass defensed over six games to open the year.

Tonka Hemingway

DT

questionable

Matt Gay

PK

Gay had a strong outing despite the loss, as he was perfect kicking the ball, although all of his kicks came from close range, with his longest being 35 yards out. The 32-year-old has gotten off to a strong start this season, converting 14 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 14 extra-point tries across his first six games.

Fernando Mendoza

QB

Mendoza got his first taste of NFL action during the Raiders' final offensive drive in their Week 5 blowout loss to the Patriots, but the rookie first overall pick observed Sunday's game from the sidelines. The Raiders have dropped each of their last three games, and if veteran Kirk Cousins cannot right the ship, then head coach Klint Kubiak may turn the keys over the Mendoza in the next few weeks. The Raiders will stay home for Week 7 against the Rams on Oct. 25.

Michael Mayer

TE

Mayer set a new single-game career high in receiving yards while outpacing position mate Brock Bowers by 25 yards in the high-scoring loss. Mayer's reception total was a team high for Las Vegas on the afternoon and served as the fourth-year pro's second best of the season. There clearly appears to be consistent room for both athletic tight ends in head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, especially with the Raiders' receiving corps lacking some depth and experience behind Tre Tucker.

Kirk Cousins

QB

Cousins completed a season-low 56.1 percent of his passes, but the veteran signal-caller went toe to toe with Josh Allen and nearly helped Las Vegas force overtime, at minimum, with a 17-point fourth quarter. Cousins first led a 15-play, 70-yard march that culminated in a Matt Gay field goal beginning in the latter portion of the third quarter, and he subsequently recorded 11- and 44-yard scoring strikes to Tre Tucker. While the Raiders came up just short, Cousins posted his second-highest passing yardage tally of the campaign and threw multiple TD passes for the fifth time in six contests. Cousins will face off with another marquee passer in Matthew Stafford when the Rams pay a visit for a Week 7 interconference showdown Sunday.

Ashton Jeanty

RB

Jeanty's inefficient rushing line underscores how Buffalo's stout run defense essentially shut him down, but the 2025 first-round pick did manage to record a one-yard touchdown run, his first of the season, with 4:27 remaining in the first quarter. The Bills had also opened up a 10-point lead going into the final period, so Jeanty lost out on some work to Mike Washington as the Raiders went to more of a pass-centric approach. Jeanty now has been under 30 rushing yards in two straight games, but his work as a receiver helps prop up his fantasy floor overall. He's collected 313 rushing yards and 251 receiving yards along with three total touchdowns going into a Week 7 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Jalen Nailor

WR

Nailor made his return to action after missing the team's Week 5 loss to the Patriots while recovering from a concussion. The wide receiver finished fifth on the team in targets, and he has now registered one or fewer catches in his last four contests. Nailor has caught six of 15 targets for 61 yards over five games this season, and he'll remain an unattractive fantasy option in Week 7 versus the Rams.

Tre Tucker

WR

With Brock Bowers clamped in coverage for much of the afternoon until the second half, Tucker ended up leading the Raiders in receiving, while he also secured both of Kirk Cousins' touchdown passes via 11- and 44-yard scores. It was Tucker's second ceiling game in the first six weeks after he went 5-119-1 on seven targets in Week 2 against the Chargers. Tucker has been held under 50 yards with no touchdowns in Las Vegas' other four contests. He's a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player whose boom games are very difficult to pinpoint.

Darien Porter

CB

Porter and Eric Stokes will be the starting cornerbacks, with Masses on the bench. Coach Klint Kubiak appears to be shaking up the defense after the team allowed 45 points to the Patriots in its Week 5 loss.

Trey Zuhn III

C

Zuhn has recovered enough from his knee injury to suit up for Sunday's contest. The offensive lineman will provide additional depth to the Raiders' offensive line as they take on the Bills.

Aidan O'Connell

QB

O'Connell remains the third option behind Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. The quarterback will only enter the game if both Cousins and Mendoza must leave the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Carter Runyon

TE

Runyon opened the season on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he was a limited practice participant in all three sessions during Week 6 prep. That's not quite enough for Runyon to make his 2026 debut, but his next opportunity to do so is Week 7 against the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Patrick Johnson

DE

Johnson exited the second quarter of the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Patriots due to multiple injuries. The linebacker has recovered from his neck and stinger issues enough to be a full participant, meaning he will likely continue to practice throughout Week 6 in anticipation of Sunday's home game against the Bills.
