Jason Witten set to break all-time games mark for tight ends

When Jason Witten entered the NFL 17 years ago as a third-round pick in Dallas, his famously blunt coach, Bill Parcells, delivered him a simple message

Hits COVID-19 list The Raiders placed Richard (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Richard's placement on the COVID-19 list is an indication that he's either tested positive for the virus or been termed a close contact with someone who has. Theo Riddick will stand to work as Las Vegas' No. 3 running back if Richard is ineligible to play Sunday in Denver.

Totals 23 yards on three touches Richard rushed for 19 yards on two carries and caught his only target for four yards in Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Despite being dealt only three touches, Richard managed to produce more total yards than fellow backup running back Devontae Booker on Saturday. The duo is slated to continue providing depth behind starter Josh Jacobs in Week 17, but Richard could see a couple more opportunities with the Raiders officially removed from playoff contention.

Full-go at practice Richard (chest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Richard reinjured his sternum before last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. He played through the injury but logged just 10 total snaps. With a full-speed practice to start the week, Richard should be 100 percent for a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins.

Reinjured in pregame warmups Richard reinjured his sternum during pregame warmups Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Richard still managed to suit up against the Chargers and draw five targets, but his injury paved the way for Theo Riddick to handle a slight uptick in snaps. The trusty change-of-pace man will benefit from a few extra days of rest before the Raiders face the Dolphins on Dec. 26.

Draws five targets in loss Richard rushed twice for 10 yards and caught four of five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Despite the return of starting running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), Richard managed to match his season high of four receptions as the Colts' lead grew throughout the second half. Richard has logged more than 20 offensive snaps in back-to-back contests, but his role figures to once again be game-script dependent on Thursday Night Football against the Chargers this week.

No. 2 role translates to five touches Richard rushed for 11 yards on four carries and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Impact Richard handled primary backup duties at running back with Josh Jacobs (ankle) sidelined, but the former was dealt just five touches in 32 offensive snaps Sunday. Fill-in starter Devontae Booker couldn't get much going either with 51 total yards on 17 touches, but he figures to remain the No. 1 option in Week 14 against the Colts if Jacobs is forced to miss another contest.

Could factor into Week 13 game plan Richard, who has missed the last two games, may play a bigger role than normal Sunday versus the Jets with Josh Jacobs (ankle) ruled out, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Richard was sidelined of late due to a chest injury and illness, but he's poised to help fill in with Jacobs on the pine. Still, Devontae Booker is expected to lead the Raiders backfield, so Richard could merely see a little extra volume as a pass catcher. On the campaign, Richard has hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 90 yards while averaging 5.9 YPC on his 14 rushes.

Raiders will be without injured RB Josh Jacobs vs. Jets

The Las Vegas Raiders will be without leading rusher Josh Jacobs and safety Johnathan Abram for this week’s game against the winless New York Jets

Back to work Wednesday Richard (illness/chest) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Richard missed last week's loss to the Falcons with an illness, but as evidenced by this news, he appears on track to return in Week 13. Now healthy, Richard will likely assume his usual kick return role, as well as work as a change-of-pace back behind Josh Jacobs (ankle) and Devontae Booker for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hinton promoted with all 4 Denver QBs out

With their four quarterbacks all out, the Denver Broncos have promoted rookie receiver Kendall Hinton from their practice squad Sunday to play QB against the New Orleans Saints

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • Associated Press

Officially out Sunday Richard (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact This illness hasn't been linked to COVID-19, so Richard has a chance to return next week against the Jets. Josh Jacobs should handle a lion's share of the backfield work Sunday, while Devontae Booker and to a lesser extent Alec Ingold rotate in.

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Sunday Richard (illness) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact This will become official when the Raiders reveal their inactives list around 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. This illness isn't related to COVID-19. Richard's absence leaves Josh Jacobs, Devontae Booker and fullback Alec Ingold as the lone options in the backfield.

Good to go Richard (chest) is absent from the Raiders' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After consecutive days being limited at practice, Richard was a full participant Friday. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role providing depth in the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Devontae Booker.

Limited Wednesday Richard (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact It's the first time Richard has practiced since suffering the chest injury Week 10 against the Broncos. The 27-year-old could avoid an injury designation if he puts in a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Raiders RT Sam Young, Chiefs WR Watkins among inactives

Right tackle Sam Young is inactive for the Las Vegas Raiders in their AFC West showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs

NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • Associated Press

Won't play Sunday Richard (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Richard will be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a chest injury. With Theo Riddick (undisclosed) on the COVID-19 list, the Raiders won't have the benefit of much depth behind Josh Jacobs and Devontae Booker on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Week 11 Richard (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Richard didn't practice all week after suffering a chest injury in last Sunday's win over the Broncos, so he may be on the wrong side of questionable. Regardless, Devontae Booker appears to have usurped Richard as the No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs, so Richard isn't expected to play much if he suits up. Theo Riddick likely will handle some work on passing downs if Richard is ruled out.

NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Still missing practice Richard (chest) didn't suit up in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Richard missed practice for the second straight day dealing with the chest injury he suffered in last week's win over the Broncos. Richard is now in danger of missing Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, which would mean Theo Riddick could be active for the contest. Richard will likely need to log some form of practice time Friday to have a chance to play in Week 11.

Unable to practice Wednesday Richard (chest) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Richard left early in this past Sunday's win over the Broncos, but postgame X-rays didn't reveal a serious injury. Nevertheless, his injury could still force him to miss some time. Devontae Booker has usurped Richard as the No. 2 behind Josh Jacobs anyway, but Theo Riddick could be active for this Sunday's game against the Chiefs if Richard can't go.
