Impact Mattison returned from an ankle injury of his own Monday before being thrust into a prominent role once Las Vegas' starting running back was ruled out at halftime. The veteran tailback played poorly on his nine touches, losing a fumble and getting tackled for a safety. Fellow backup Ameer Abdullah produced 66 yards and a score on 10 combined touches (primarily as a receiving option) for comparison. If McCormick is forced to miss time, Mattison figures to be the next man up given his experience and success as a starter in the past, with Abdullah likely being mixed in sporadically against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Opens week with full practice Mattison (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mattison's full participation in practice to kick off Week 15 prep clears the way for him to put an end to his three-game absence Monday against the Falcons, but he'll likely find himself in a smaller role than he enjoyed prior to missing time with the ankle injury. Per Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site, head coach Antonio Pierce announced Wednesday that Sincere McCormick will remain the team's starting running back moving forward, which likely means Mattison will see a reduction in the 9.7 carries per game he had averaged for the season before suffering the injury. McCormick hasn't shown much prowess as a receiver, however, so Mattison could be called upon to replace him on passing downs after averaging a healthy 9.8 yards per reception prior to his recent absence.

Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell back at practice, but status is undetermined for Falcons game

Expected to return in backup role Head coach Antonio Pierce relayed Wednesday that Mattison (ankle) will probably be active Monday night against the Falcons, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While Mattison -- who last played in Week 11-- is trending toward a return to action Monday, Pierce noted that Sincere McCormick -- who has run well of late -- would remain the Raiders' top back nonetheless. Mattison is thus poised to rejoin the team's backfield mix in a complementary role behind McCormick, with Ameer Abdullah also on hand. In that role, Mattison's Week 15 fantasy upside appears modest.

Not playing Sunday Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact With Mattison and Zamir White (quadricep) set to miss their third consecutive games, the Raiders will turn to Ameer Abdullah and Sincere McCormick to pick up most of the snaps out of the backfield. Prior to missing time with the ankle injury, Mattison had been serving as the Raiders' lead back and had earned at least eight touches in each of his last six appearances, but it's unclear if he'll be in store for meaningful volume once he shakes off the ankle injury. Mattison is on an expiring contract, and after averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on the season, the non-contending Raiders may not be incentivized to give extensive work to a player who might not be part of the team heading into 2025.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears set to miss another game Mattison (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 14 battle against the Buccaneers, isn't likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Mattison was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, but it doesn't appear that he's ready to return to game action. If he is indeed held out Sunday, it will be the veteran tailback's third straight absence. Zamir White (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for Week 14, so Las Vegas' backfield will likely consist of Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick and Dylan Laube against Tampa Bay.

Questionable for Sunday Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact For a second straight week, Mattison has operated with a cap on his reps and ended it as questionable to suit up. He ultimately was inactive last Friday at Kansas City, but if he's able to return to action this weekend, there's a chance he'd retake the the Raiders backfield from Ameer Abdullah and Sincere McCormick with Zamir White (quadriceps) still sidelined.

Remains limited in practice Mattison (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mattison has now been listed as limited on five consecutive practice reports, but after missing the Raiders' last two contests, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Even if Mattison gets the green light to play Sunday, he may not take on as expansive of a role out of the Las Vegas backfield as he had enjoyed prior to sustaining the ankle injury. Mattison is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on the season, and the Raiders had success on the ground in his absence with 2022 undrafted free agent Sincere McCormick, who gained 97 yards on 17 totes (5.7 YPC) over the past two weeks.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Mattison (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fellow running back Zamir White (quadriceps) was a non-participant and thus appears more likely than Mattison to miss a third straight game. Ameer Abdullah filled in as the starter the past two weeks, but Sincere McCormick had a significant role in the second game, taking 38 percent of snaps and a team-high 12 carries (for 64 yards) in the 19-17 loss to Kansas City on Friday. It's hard to say what Mattison's role will be if he returns this Sunday against Tampa Bay, considering he's averaging 3.3 yards per carry this season and has reached 40 rushing yards in just one of his five starts.

Inactive Friday Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Friday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact With Mattison and Zamir White (quadriceps) both inactive, Ameer Abdullah is in a position to continue to lead the Raiders' backfield Friday, with practice squad elevation Sincere McCormick mixing in, while Dylan Laube is on hand in reserve. The next chance for either Mattison or White to return to the lineup arrives Dec. 8 versus the Buccaneers.

Questionable for Week 13 Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact While Mattison, who the Raiders deemed limited on their Tuesday through Thursday practice reports, has a chance to face Kansas City, Zamir White (quadriceps) was ruled out by the team. Confirmation of Mattison's Week 13 status will arrive once Las Vegas' inactives are posted ahead of Friday's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's limited or out, Ameer Abdullah would be in line to continue to see added backfield snaps, with Sincere McCormick and Dylan Laube also available to mix in.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Mattison (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mattison at least is ahead of fellow Raiders running back Zamir White, who hasn't practiced since suffering a quad injury Week 11. Mattison injured his ankle later in the same game and then missed Week 12, allowing Ameer Abdullah to play 88 percent of snaps in a loss to Denver this past Sunday. Mattison could be back in the lead role if he's active for Friday's game against the Chiefs at 3:00 p.m. ET.
