Raiders' Brock Bowers: Working with Cousins to open season
Bowers will open the 2026 season working with Kirk Cousins as his quarterback after the veteran was named the Week 1 starter Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The star tight end is looking to return to the caliber of production he managed during an outstanding 2024 rookie campaign, one where he recorded a 112-1,194-5 line across 17 regular-season games. Bowers endured a lingering knee injury last season that ultimately limited him to 12 games, but the combination of his return to full health and a savvy veteran familiar with head coach Klint Kubiak's system in Cousins sets the stage for a potentially productive start to the 2026 season.

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Opening season as QB2
With coach Klint Kubiak naming Kirk Cousins the Raiders' starting quarterback Wednesday, Mendoza will open the season as the backup, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Mendoza was in the competition all offseason, but it was going to take some otherworldly play to knock Cousins out of the top spot on the depth chart. While Cousins completed 13 of 17 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown across 30 preseason snaps, Mendoza struggled some, completing just 26 of 46 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown and a pair of interceptions during exhibition action. Cousins is likely to have a decently long leash to begin the season, but Mendoza remains a good bet to make starts as a rookie.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Optimism for Week 1
Coach Klint Kubiak expressed optimism Wednesday that Jeanty (ankle) will be ready for Week 1 against the Dolphins, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Jeanty hasn't practiced this week after suffering what is believed to be a low-ankle sprain back on Aug. 23, but the running back has been working off to the side with trainers in an effort to get ready for the start of the regular season. Once the Raiders are required to release true injury reports next week, there will be a better idea of Jeanty's availability for the regular-season opener. Mike Washington and Dylan Laube are next up for carries if Jeanty is unable to play against Miami.

Raiders' Kirk Cousins: Named starting quarterback
Coach Klint Kubiak named Cousins the Raiders' starting quarterback Wednesday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
It was a decision everyone expected and comes as no surprise after Cousins worked with the first-team offense all offseason. Cousins played 30 offensive snaps during the preseason and completed 13 of 17 pass attempts for 101 yards and one touchdown, while rookie No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza was more scattershot, completing just 26 of 46 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown and a pair of picks. Cousins should have a somewhat long leash to begin the season, but Mendoza remains very likely to see rookie-year playing time.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Remains sidelined Wednesday
Jeanty (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Jeanty worked off to the side with trainers Tuesday, as he attempts to get past an ankle injury suffered Aug. 23. It's believed to be a low-ankle sprain for the second-year running back. Jeanty has 11 more days before the Raiders open the season at home against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 13. He'll likely need to practice in some fashion next week to have a chance to play, otherwise Mike Washington and Dylan Laube would be in line to carry the backfield load for Las Vegas.

Raiders' Darrell Luter: Catches on with Las Vegas
The Raiders claimed Luter off waivers from the 49ers on Monday.
Las Vegas waived cornerback Decamerion Richardson to make room on the 53-man roster for Luter, a 2023 fifth-round pick who had spent each of his first three seasons in San Francisco. He served as a depth piece in the 49ers secondary in 2025, appearing in all 17 games during the regular season while recording 28 tackles, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery. Luter could be in line for a more pronounced role in Las Vegas, where he'll face lesser competition for reps at cornerback.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Working with trainers Tuesday
Jeanty (ankle) is working off to the side during Tuesday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
This marks the first time Jeanty has been participating during a media viewing period since the running back sustained an ankle injury during practice Aug. 23. Jeanty was initially not out with the team for Tuesday's session but has since gotten on the field to work with trainers. There are still some hurdles to be cleared before Jeanty's Week 1 status is confirmed, but the second-year back appears to be making progress.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Not spotted Tuesday
Jeanty (ankle) was not spotted at Tuesday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Klint Kubiak said Friday that he's "counting on" Jeanty to be available for Week 1, but the second-year running back will need to get back on the practice field first. The Raiders will open their season with a Sept. 13 game against the Dolphins, so Jeanty still has time to heal up from his sprained ankle. Rookie Mike Washington would be in store for an expanded role versus Miami if Jeanty is out or limited for that contest.

Raiders' Chase Roberts: Goes to IR
Roberts (undisclosed) reverted to the Raiders' IR on Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Roberts was waived/injured with an undisclosed issue Sunday and went unclaimed on waivers. As such, he'll need to miss the entire 2026 season unless he works out an injury settlement with Las Vegas.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Sent to injured reserve
The Raiders placed Thornton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.
It's still unclear what is bothering Thornton, but he'll now be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The 2025 fourth-rounder corralled just 10 of 30 targets for 135 scoreless yards across 15 regular-season appearances as a rookie last season and missed the entire preseason this summer. Under a new coaching staff, it's unclear what kind of role Thornton will have this season once healthy.
