  • Raiders' Austin Walter: Lands on injured reserve

    Walter (undisclosed) was placed on IR on Thursday.

    Walter was working to earn a depth role in the Raiders' backfield after joining the team on a reserve/future deal in January. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2021 with the Jets, and now he'll likely have to wait a while longer. Unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team, Walter will be forced to miss the entirety of the 2023 campaign.

  • Raiders' Brandon Facyson: Injury likely not serious

    Facyson (leg) did not practice Wednesday, Mark Anderson of Yahoo.com reports.

    Facyson had to be carted off the field Tuesday, and although he was unable to return for practice Wednesday, the injury is not believed to be serious. Head coach Josh McDaniels added, "I don't think it's going to be too long-term." Facyson spent last season with the Colts, after being a Raider for the 2021 campaign, compiling 28 tackles and six passes defended. He'll return to trying to earn a depth role in the Las Vegas secondary once he's fully recovered.

  • Raiders' Jacob Hollister: Signs with Vegas

    Hollister agreed to terms with the Raiders on Wednesday.

    Hollister had a stint with the Raiders last season that he will now continue after signing. The veteran tight end has played for five teams throughout his six-year career, racking up 83 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. Expect the 29-year-old to battle for a depth spot in Vegas' tight end room ahead of the coming season.

  • Raiders' Brandon Facyson: Carted off during camp

    Facyson was carted off during Raiders practice Tuesday after suffering an apparent leg injury, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Facyson was standing out at camp before suffering this leg injury, but head coach Josh McDaniels doesn't believe he'll be out for a long period of time. McDaniels told reporters Wednesday that there's no update on the veteran cornerback's injury but suggested "it won't be too long term." Once he returns to full health, expect the 28-year-old Facyson to serve as a rotational corner for the Raiders ahead of the coming season.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Looks good at practice

    Mayer stood out while making his fair share of catches during Monday's practice, according to Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site.

    Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, Mayer still needs to improve on his blocking, but the 2023 second-rounder's pass-catching ability figures to lead to a role in the Raiders' offense from the get-go this season. With the team having traded Darren Waller to the Giants in March, there are TE snaps and targets available for both Mayer and free-agent addition Austin Hooper. While a timeshare figures to be in play early on, it's quite plausible that the rookie's fantasy utility increases as the campaign progresses.

  • Raiders' Chase Garbers: Re-signed by Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Garbers on Tuesday.

    Garbers, an undrafted free agent out of California, spent most of last season on the Raiders practice squad and was elevated to the active roster late in his rookie season when Jarrett Stidham replaced Derek Carr as the starting quarterback. Garbers was surprisingly let go ahead of training camp, but he's back on the squad a week later and will compete with veteran Brian Hoyer and rookie Aidan O'Connell for a backup spot behind Jimmy Garoppolo.

  • Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Not bothered by rumors

    Renfrow has avoided addressing trade rumors and recently said he'd like to prove the Raiders right for re-signing him, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

    Renfrow's 2021 breakout led to a two-year, $32 million contract extension last summer, with new coach Josh McDaniels and new general manager Dave Ziegler apparently optimistic the slot receiver would continue the success he enjoyed under the previous regime. It didn't work out that way, as an oblique injury and concussion cost Renfrow seven games and contributed to a career-low 330 receiving yards, barely more than half of his previous low-water mark. The Raiders then signed Jakobi Meyers in March, which led to speculation Renfrow could be traded, although the current plan seems to involve Meyers playing the perimeter more than he did in New England. There's no financial incentive to release Renfrow, as he already received a $4.32 million roster bonus and his $6.5 million base salary for 2023 is guaranteed. A trade might make sense, but there's theoretically room for both Meyers and Renfrow to see a decent number of targets in a Raiders offense that lost TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins this offseason -- especially if RB Josh Jacobs remains away from the team into September.

  • Raiders' Justin Herron: Not competing for starting spot

    Herron (knee) will most likely be a swing tackle ahead of the coming season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    The 2020 sixth-round pick was placed on injured reserve Oct. 8 of last season after suffering a knee injury, but he's since had time to move past the issue. Herron, among others, has been aiming to compete with Jermaine Eluemunor for the right tackle spot, but it seems unlikely Herron has a shot to start at this point. Expect the Wake Forest product to be a depth tackle for Vegas' offensive line.
