  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Won't play against Buffalo

    Hemingway (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

    Hemingway was unable to practice all week while in the league's concussion protocol. His next chance to play is Week 7 on Oct. 25 against the Rams, but Hemingway would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity to indicate that he's progressing through protocol. Thomas Booker and Folorunso Fatukasi are both in line for more defensive snaps in Hemingway's absence.

  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Dealing with concussion

    Hemingway is in concussion protocol ahead of Week 6 versus Buffalo, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

    Hemingway exited Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots in the first half with what was initial described as a neck injury. The defensive lineman is dealing with a concussion in addition to the potential neck injury, and his status for Week 6 is now uncertain. Hemingway will have three chances to return to practice and clear concussion protocol prior to the team's upcoming matchup with the Bills.

  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Downgrades to out Sunday

    Hemingway (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Hemingway's neck injury is significant enough that the Raiders will not allow the defensive tackle to return to the field during Sunday's contest. Folorunso Fatukasi and Thomas Booker will need to continue to fill in at defensive tackle against the Patriots.

  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Questionable to return with neck injury

    Hemingway (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Hemingway exited the first half of Sunday's game with a neck injury. Folorunso Fatukasi and Thomas Booker will likely share reps at defensive tackle in Hemingway's absence.

  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Plays sparingly as a rookie

    Hemingway played in just nine regular-season games as a rookie in 2025, as he was a healthy scratch for the other eight, though he did record 4.0 sacks among his nine tackles (eight solo).

    The defensive lineman also broke up a pass and recovered a fumble. Hemingway did manage to get on the field in each of the last five games and in seven of the last nine, playing more than 30 percent of the defensive snaps in six of those contests. The fourth-round pick will try to earn a bigger role in 2026.

  • Raiders' Tonka Hemingway: Headed to Raiders in Round 4

    The Raiders selected Hemingway in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 135th overall.

    Hemingway moved around the defensive line in college and tallied 9.5 sacks over his final three seasons with the South Carolina Gamecocks, also notching 80 tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss over that span. At 6-foot-3, 284 pounds, he's a bit undersized for the interior but moves well for his size. It remains to be seen what the Raiders' plans are for Hemingway, but he'll most likely provide some interior depth.
