Jalen Nailor - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Will not practice Wednesday Nailor (concussion) will not practice Wednesday, Sam Warren reports.

Impact With Nailor having been ruled out of Sunday's game after sustaining a concussion, his absence from Wednesday's practice suggests he's still working through the league's protocol. The Raiders' wide receiver depth could again come into focus if he remains sidelined later in the week.

Pedestrian performance in Week 2 Nailor caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

Impact Nailor's three targets were fourth on the team, and he continues to run plenty of routes. The production is lacking through two games, as Nailor has just four catches for 36 scoreless yards on eight targets. Cody White secured a pair of touchdowns as the fourth wideout Sunday, and it will be interesting to see if White starts getting more snaps at Nailor or Jack Bech's expense.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches in Las Vegas debut Nailor caught three passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Nailor ended up leading all Raiders wide receivers in targets, though he finished third in that category behind Michael Mayer (seven) and running back Ashton Jeanty (six). Even with Brock Bowers (knee) sidelined, it looks like Nailor will operate in a complementary role in the Raiders' offense, especially in games where Jeanty gets it going as he did against Miami. Things won't get easier for Nailor in Week 2 against a 49ers defense that held Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and the rest of the Rams pass catchers in check in a 27-7 Week 1 win for San Francisco.
