Jalen Nailor - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two catches in loss Nailor caught two of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Nailor was a non-factor on offense in Week 9, failing to reach double-digit receiving yards for the fourth time this season. The wide receiver has had a hard time getting into a groove in his first season with Las Vegas, catching 14 of 28 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown over eight contests so far.

Four grabs in win Nailor caught all four targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Impact Both the catches and yards marked new season highs for Nailor, who entered Sunday with eight grabs for 75 yards and no touchdowns across six games. No team uses its receivers less than the Raiders, and Nailor accounted for four of the five targets between he and Tre Tucker against the Jets. Nailor has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's road date with the 49ers.

Two snags in loss Nailor caught two of five targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

Impact Nailor was able to reel in multiple passes for the first time since Week 1, but he was still limited to an uninspiring 14 receiving yards. With Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker and Ashton Jeanty combining for 28 targets in the contest, Nailor operated as a the No. 4 option at best for Las Vegas. Through six contests this year, the wide receiver has caught eight of 20 targets for 75 yards, and he is still searching for his first touchdown.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in return to action Nailor caught one of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.

Impact Nailor made his return to action after missing the team's Week 5 loss to the Patriots while recovering from a concussion. The wide receiver finished fifth on the team in targets, and he has now registered one or fewer catches in his last four contests. Nailor has caught six of 15 targets for 61 yards over five games this season, and he'll remain an unattractive fantasy option in Week 7 versus the Rams.

Cleared to return from protocol Nailor (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nailor cleared concussion protocol after missing a Week 5 loss to the Patriots. He hasn't done much with his routes this year, but the lack of alternatives in Las Vegas should keep him in a role as the No. 2 or 3 wide receiver. Cody White has made a case for more playing time in recent weeks, benefitting from red-zone usage and then Nailor's absence.

Back at practice Thursday Nailor (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Impact Thursday's was Nailor's first practice since he suffered a concussion back in Week 4 versus the Chiefs. He presumably still needs to clear league concussion protocol before he'll be able to return to game action, and his status for Week 6 should become more clear when Las Vegas publishes its final injury report of the week Friday.

Sitting out practice Wednesday Nailor (concussion) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Warren, Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Monday that he expected Nailor to return to practice this week. If that comes to pass, it looks like it won't be until Thursday or Friday that the wideout returns to the field. After sustaining a concussion in an Oct. 4 loss to the Chiefs, Nailor didn't practice at any point last week before being inactive for the Raiders' 45-17 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

On track to practice this week Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Monday that Nailor (concussion) is expected to practice this week, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact After sustaining a concussion in the Raiders' Oct. 4 loss to the Chiefs, Nailor wasn't able to practice in any fashion in Week 5 before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's eventual 45-17 loss to the Patriots. Nailor remains in concussion protocol, but he looks poised to take a step forward by getting back on the practice field Wednesday as at least a limited participant. So long as he upgrades to full participation by the end of the week and gains clearance from an independent neurologist, Nailor should be ready to handle a starting role at receiver in Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Out this week Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New England, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Impact Nailor was concussed during a Week 4 loss to Kansas City and didn't practice at all in the lead up to Week 5. In Nailor's absence, Cody White is the favorite to get most of the WR snaps alongside Tre Tucker, with Dareke Young and Malik Benson also on hand for depth. The Raiders mostly work from two-TE formations to keep Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer on the field.

Remains sidelined for practice Nailor (concussion) isn't practicing Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact After sustaining a concussion in this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Nailor hasn't made enough progress through the five-step protocol to resume taking any on-field reps. He'll have one more chance this week to practice in some capacity, but at this stage, Nailor looks to be trending toward sitting out this Sunday against New England.

Impact Nailor took a blow to the head late in the second quarter, and he was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion. The wide receiver will finish his day having recorded no stats. In his absence, Tre Tucker, Cody White and Dareke Young will operate as the Raiders' top options at wide receiver.
