Johnathan Abram - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Racks up 10 tackles Abram totaled 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

Impact Abram finished with 10 or more tackles for just the second time this season, with his other such performance coming in Week 1 against the Panthers. The 2019 first-round pick will head into Week 10 against Denver with 42 tackles (31 solo), four passes defensed and an interception through seven contests.

Missing practice time Abram (illness) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Abram had resided on the COVID-19 list earlier in the season, but this illness doesn't appear to be virus-related. It's too early to panic about the 2019 first-round pick's status for Sunday's game against the Chargers, but if he's forced to miss the game, Jeff Heath (hip) would be in line for a start if he's healthy.

Back from COVID list Abram was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday due to his close contact with Trent Brown (illness), but he's returning to the active roster when first eligible. Abram should return to his starting role after being forced to miss the Week 7 loss to the Buccaneers.

Report: Raiders’ Johnathan Abram out for game vs. Buccaneers Las Vegas Raiders are still scheduled to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but Johnathan Abram will not be available

OCTOBER 23, 2020 • MERCURYNEWS.COM

Not expected to play Sunday Abram (illness) is not eligible to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Abrams is listed as having been in close contact with Trent Brown (illness) on Tuesday, which doesn't leave him with a long enough period of time to gain full clearance by Sunday. The Raiders also had to place offensive linemen Rodney Hudson, Denzelle Good, Gabe Jackson and Kolton Miller on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, though it appears that each of them has a chance for Week 7. Jeff Heath would stand to see an uptick in defensive snaps if Abrams is indeed forced to miss time.

Added to COVID list Abram landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There remains a chance that Abram could be cleared Sunday morning by passing by a POC test, but the second-year safety would then be afforded minimal pre-game preparation time as the NFL has decided to move the Las Vegas-Tampa Bay matchup out of primetime and into the Sunday 4:05 p.m. ET timeslot. In addition to Abram, offensive linemen Rodney Hudson, Denzelle Good, Gabe Jackson and Kolton Miller also landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. If the game is not pushed to Monday or Tuesday, and/or Abram cannot clear league protocols before kickoff, Jeff Heath would be in line for more work at strong safety.

Sent home as precaution Abram was sent home from practice Wednesday due to COVID-19 contact tracing, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The entire Raiders' offensive line was also sent home, revealing a possible COVID-19 outbreak in the team's facilities. At this time, it doesn't appear Abram has tested positive for the virus, but he may have come into close contact with an infected person. His status is in question for this Sunday's home game versus the Buccaneers.

Ready for Week 4 Abram (shoulder/thumb) is officially active for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Impact The 23-year-old was considered questionable after practicing as a limited participant all week, but it won't keep him out of Sunday's game. Abram should play his usual role at strong safety for the Raiders.

OCTOBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after limited practice Abram (shoulder/thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Abram got his first career interception in last week's loss to the Patriots, but he has been limited in each of the Raiders' practices this week, leaving him questionable for Sunday's home game. Jeff Heath would be in line for an expanded role if Abram can't go come game day.

Snags first career interception Abram registered three tackles (two solo), one pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Abram picked off Patriots quarterback Cam Newton for the former's first interception of his NFL career, but the safety otherwise struggled in New England after racking up an impressive 13 tackles in Week 1. Abrams will look to force another turnover in Week 4 as the undefeated Bills travel to Vegas.

Full go Wednesday Abram (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Abram suffered what appeared to be a significant shoulder injury during Monday's win over the Saints, but he appears fully healthy. Wednesday's injury report is only an estimation, but Abram also managed to play 57 of 60 defensive snaps Monday despite briefly leaving in the first quarter. The second-year pro looks on track to face the Patriots in Week 3.

Positive injury news Abram had an X-ray on his shoulder that didn't reveal structural damage, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Abram crashed into a TV cart in the first quarter of Monday's 34-24 win over the Saints, but he still managed to play 57 of 60 snaps. Since the X-ray was negative, there's still no clear indication of what Abram's dealing with, but it's not a major concern for his availability moving forward. Expect the 2019 first-round pick to be ready for Sunday's matchup versus New England.

Impact Abram, whose rookie campaign in 2019 was cut short just one game into the season due to a torn rotator cuff, absolutely showed out in his return to the field Sunday. Seemingly back to 100 percent health, Abram will look to stay busy in Week 2 against a Saints offense that just put up 34 points in a win over the Buccaneers.
