Raiders' Brennan Jackson: Placed on injured reserve
The Raiders placed Jackson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.
Jackson likely sustained an injury in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals. The linebacker logged two solo tackles in the contest. The 25-year-old will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Raiders' Folorunso Fatukasi: Signs with Vegas
The Raiders signed Fatukasi to a contract Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Fatukasi worked out with the Giants in late July but waited through training camp to sign with an organization. The veteran defensive tackle now joins the Raiders, looking to provide some depth on the interior defensive line. Fatukasi slots in behind Tonka Hemingway, Benito Jones and Brandon Cleveland. However, he Jets' 2018 sixth-rounder is likely just a preseason addition to bolster the rotation for next Thursday's game against the Texans.

Raiders' Jalen Nailor: Minimal snaps in preseason opener
Nailor played eight snaps on offense during Thursday's 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals. He did not show up in the box score otherwise.
Both Nailor and Tre Tucker, the Raiders' top wideouts on the depth chart, saw minimal work in the first quarter before observing the rest of the game from the sidelines. Nailor inked a three-year, $35 million contract with Las Vegas after playing for Minnesota during the first four years of his NFL career. He's played 17 regular-season games in each of the last two years and finished the 2025 campaign with 29 catches (on 53 targets) for 444 yards and four touchdowns. Nailor will have the opportunity to operate in an expanded role in the Raiders passing attack alongside Tucker and talented tight end Brock Bowers.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Catches TD in preseason opener
Bech caught three passes on as many targets for 25 yards and a touchdown during the Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.
All three of Bech's catches came in the first half, with his last resulting in a six-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins. Bech led all wide receivers with 22 offensive snaps, and a strong rapport with Cousins would help the former's case for the WR3 job, with his main competition coming from Dont'e Thornton, Dareke Young and rookie sixth-rounder Malik Benson. Bech and the Raiders will hit the road for their next preseason game against the Texans this Thursday.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Set to return during preseason
Thornton (undisclosed) did not play in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Cardinals.
The wide receiver exited last Friday's practice with an injury. Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reported that Thornton is expected to return to the field at some point during the preseason, but there is no specific week targeted. The Raiders' receiving room is currently wide open, and the more time the 23-year-old misses, the harder it will be to take one of the top slots.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Limited to one snap
Bowers started Thursday's preseason opener against Arizona and came out of the game after one snap.
The Raiders' other starters, including QB Kirk Cousins and RB Ashton Jeanty, continued to play throughout the opening drive. Not that this needed reinforcement, but the early exit is yet another sign of Bowers' massive importance to the Las Vegas offense. We may not see him again until Week 1 against Miami.

Raiders' Tre Tucker: Pair of catches in preseason loss
Tucker secured both of his targets for 21 yards in the Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.
Tucker opened the game with the rest of the Raiders' projected offensive starters and showed some solid chemistry with Kirk Cousins, recording 16- and five-yard grabs on an opening possession that was capped by Michael Mayer's 13-yard touchdown catch. Tucker tuned up for his projected No. 1 receiver role in 2026 by posting a career-best season a year ago, furnishing a 57-696-5 line across 17 regular-season games.

Raiders' Mike Washington: Impresses in multiple roles
Washington rushed six times for 63 yards, failed to bring in his only target and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in the Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.
The rookie fourth-round pick is considered the favorite to open the season as the No. 2 back behind Ashton Jeanty, and Washington did nothing if not help cement that status in his NFL debut. The Arkansas product gained the bulk of his rushing production on his 53-yard scamper during the Raiders' third possession, but he also had a five-yard run wiped out by an offensive holding penalty. Washington averaged a stellar 6.4 yards per carry during his 2025 senior season with the Razorbacks, and he should have ample opportunity to prove his worth as a change-of-pace back during his rookie campaign.

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Tosses TD in preseason opener
Mendoza completed 10 of 16 passes for 97 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed twice for six yards in the Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.
The highly anticipated professional debut of the No. 1 overall pick officially began on the Raiders' second possession after projected starter Kirk Cousins led Las Vegas to a touchdown on the opening drive. Mendoza's first completion went to Jack Bech for nine yards, and he had a subsequent five-yard connection with fellow rookie Mike Washington wiped out by a holding penalty. Mendoza appeared much more comfortable the second time he had the ball, leading the Raiders on a 10-play, 79-yard march that included a 19-yard completion to Malik Benson and was capped off with a six-yard touchdown pass to Bech. Mendoza played into the fourth quarter and had a solid night overall, but Greg Auman of FOX Sports reports head coach Klint Kubiak said after the game it's still Cousins "job to lose" in terms of the Week 1 starting role.

Raiders' Kirk Cousins: Kubiak say it's Cousins' 'job to lose'
Coach Klint Kubiak said after Thursday's 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals that the Raiders' starting quarterback gig is Cousins' "job to lose," Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Kubiak announced at the outset of training camp that Cousins was the team's No. 1 QB, and nothing between then and Thursday's contest seemingly has changed his mind. Cousins led a touchdown drive on his only possession, which culminated in a 13-yard connection between him and TE Michael Mayer. Meanwhile, 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza fared well himself, completing 10 of 16 passes for 97 yards, one TD and one interception. Considering Kubiak's comments, Cousins appears destined to be under center for Las Vegas to begin Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Solid in preseason cameo
Jeanty rushed three times for 16 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Raiders' 27-14 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.
Jeanty was the first running back in the game for the Raiders and saw all his touches on Las Vegas' first drive before his night came to a quick end. The 2025 first-round pick is coming off a solid rookie campaign where he arguably maximized his opportunities on a struggling team in need of a talent infusion, and the offseason addition of star center Tyler Linderbaum is expected to make a significant impact on the blocking Jeanty enjoy as he carries out his clear-cut No. 1 role in 2026.

Raiders' Justin Pickett: Reverts to IR
Pickett (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Raiders on Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Pickett will be placed on IR after he was waived with an injury designation by Las Vegas on Wednesday, ultimately going unclaimed. The offensive lineman is now on track to miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign unless he is able to reach an injury settlement with the Raiders.

Raiders' Jermod McCoy: Set for debut with Raiders
McCoy (knee) will play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Sam Warren of the Athletic reports.
McCoy has had his workload managed throughout training camp as he makes his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in January 2025, forcing him to miss the entirety of his final collegiate season with Tennessee. The cornerback was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and if not for the injury, he would've likely gone multiple rounds earlier. Head coach Klint Kubiak is excited to see McCoy in action against Arizona, stating that, "We expect him to compete and look forward to watching him play."
