Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders Inactives
Note that the full inactive list is released by teams 90 minutes before kickoff. This list will be updated at that time.
Jakorian Bennett, CB
Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. With Nate Hobbs (ankle) out last week against Miami, Bennett got the start at cornerback for Las Vegas, but he played two defensive snaps before getting hurt. Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes finished the game as the Raiders’ cornerbacks.
Harrison Bryant, TE
Bryant (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Broncos. He started the Raiders’ week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he could be trending toward playing in Sunday’s divisional matchup.
The first-year Raider has caught nine of his 12 targets for 86 yards through eight appearances this season. If Bryant is sidelined for the second consecutive game in Week 12, Justin Shorter is likely to serve as the Raiders’ No. 3 tight end.
Nate Hobbs, CB
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. Hobbs was injured in Week 9 against the Bengals and will miss his second consecutive contest. Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes paced the Raiders’ cornerbacks in playing time last Sunday against Miami.
Jack Jones, CB
Jones (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Broncos. Jones upgraded to limited participation in Friday’s practice after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating he could be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 12 divisional matchup.
The Raiders will be without their top three corners if Jones cannot suit up Sunday, as both Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) have already been ruled out. Darnay Holmes, Decamerion Richardson and Sam Webb are all expected see expanded roles in Las Vegas’ secondary.
Alexander Mattison, RB
Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison did not practice this week due to an ankle injury and is doubtful for Sunday’s game. Before exiting Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins in the fourth quarter, Mattison posted five carries for 19 yards and three catches for 50 yards.
Raiders RB Zamir White also left Sunday’s game with a quad injury. He never practiced this week and is also considered doubtful for Week 12.
Las Vegas will be dealing with a shorthanded RB room heading into its Week 12 matchup against the Broncos.
On Friday, head coach Antonio Pierce said veteran Ameer Abdullah will be the Raiders’ starter vs. Denver if Mattison and White can’t play. Fifth-round rookie Dylan Laube will likely also be involved, while Vegas could promote an RB from its practice squad for depth.
Zamir White, RB
White (quadricep) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. The same goes for Alexander Mattison (ankle), which sets the stage for the Raiders to likely be without both players this weekend.
If the duo is inactive versus Denver, Ameer Abdullah would be the expected starter at running back for Las Vegas, with Dylan Laube and Sincere McCormick also in the mix, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
