Impact Pierce said Mattison will "probably" return from his three-game absence versus Atlanta, but that McCormick has "run his tail off" and earned the No. 1 backfield role. With Mattison and Zamir White (quadriceps), who is now on IR, both sidelined as of late, McCormick has compiled 142 rushing yards on 27 attempts (5.3 YPC) in his last two appearances. He'll work to log another efficient showing versus Atlanta on Monday.

Impressive showing in loss McCormick rushed 15 times for 78 yards and brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in the Raiders' 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact McCormick took full control of the Raiders' ground game in the absences of Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps), putting together his second straight efficient performance with the help of a team-long 29-yard run. McCormick's opportunities were somewhat limited by game script, making his numbers all the more impressive. With 142 rush yards on 27 carries over his last two games, McCormick appears likely to serve as the top back again in a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 16, irrespective of the status of his pair of injured teammates.

Another expanded role may await McCormick is expected to work in a timeshare out of the backfield with Ameer Abdullah in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay with Zamir White (quadricep) ruled out and with Alexander Mattis...

Impact The Raiders also have rookie sixth-round pick Dylan Laube on hand as another option at running back, though he played exclusively on special teams while Mattison and White were both out the previous two games. McCormick, meanwhile, was elevated from the practice squad for both contests and carried 17 times for 97 yards (5.7 YPC) to go with two receptions for one yard between those games. Though he has comfortably outpaced McCormick in snaps in both games and has been the superior pass-catching threat (seven receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown on eight targets), Abdullah is averaging just 3.7 yards on his 18 totes over the past two weeks, which could compel the Raiders to give McCormick more work on the ground Sunday. Las Vegas signed McCormick to its 53-man roster Tuesday, potentially giving him some security if one or both of White and Mattison are able to return to the mix later on this season.

Gets roster spot The Raiders signed McCormick off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Wide receiver DJ Turner (knee) was placed on injured reserve to open up a spot on the 53-man roster for McCormick, an undrafted rookie out of UTSA who had already exhausted his three practice-squad elevations. With Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadricep) both sidelined for Las Vegas' past two games, McCormick operated as the No. 2 back behind Ameer Abdullah for both contests, carrying 17 times for 97 yards (5.7 YPC) and recording two catches for one yard. Though Mattison and White could both be available for this Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, neither player has been efficient with his opportunities this season, so McCormick could continue to have a role out of the backfield.

Reverts to practice squad McCormick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) both inactive for Friday's game against the Chiefs, McCormick was thrust into backup running back duties behind Ameer Abdullah. McCormick finished Friday's game with 12 carries for 64 yards while adding two catches for one yard, and he played 26 snaps on offense while Abdullah led the Raiders' backfield with 42 offensive snaps. McCormick has an opportunity to reprise his backup role for Week 14 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8 if both Mattison and White were to be sidelined for that contest.

Strong showing in extended duty McCormick rushed 12 times for 64 yards and brought in both targets for one yard in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.

Impact McCormick led the Raiders in rushing yardage, logging two additional carries and 25 more rushing yards than backfield mate Ameer Abdullah. McCormick had just seen his first five career touches in Week 12 against the Broncos and had been similarly efficient with a lighter workload, recording 33 yards on five carries on just eight snaps. The UTSA product, who twice rushed for over 1,400 yards in college, has undeniably shown promise, but it remains to be seen what his role will be if both Zamir White (quadriceps) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are available for a Week 14 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8.

In Week 13 backfield mix McCormick is active Friday against the Chiefs along with fellow RBs Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube.

Impact With both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) inactive Friday, McCormick -- who logged eight offensive snaps and carried five times for 33 yards in the aforementioned duo's absence this past Sunday against the Broncos -- will have have an opportunity to see added work alongside Ameer Abdullah. In that context, McCormick represents a possible fantasy dart for those scrambling for Week 13 running back help.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated again for Week 13 McCormick was elevated from the Raiders' practice squad Thursday ahead of Friday's contest against the Chiefs.

Impact McCormick's elevation is his second in as many weeks and his third overall this season. With both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) out last Sunday versus Denver, McCormick logged eight offensive snaps and carried six times for 33 yards. White has been ruled out again this week, but Mattison is questionable to play, and if the latter suits up McCormick could see even fewer opportunities to take the field Friday.

Moves back to practice squad McCormick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) inactive for Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos, McCormick was elevated for the contest and served as the Raiders' No. 2 RB behind Ameer Abdullah. Abdullah led the way with 13 touches for 65 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD on a 90 percent snap share, while McCormick got the other 10 percent and turned five carries into 33 yards, and Dylan Laube was contained strictly to special teams. If one of Mattison or White is able to return Friday against the Chiefs, McCormick may not get the call for Week 13 action, but that won't be known until later this week.

Elevated for Week 12 The Raiders elevated McCormick from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact With both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, there's a path for McCormick to potentially see playing time in Week 12. Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube are viewed as the favorites for backfield snaps should Mattison and White not gain clearance to play. McCormick's next offensive snap will be his first in the NFL.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Bumped back down McCormick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

Impact McCormick got a chance with the active roster in Sunday's loss to the Broncos due to Zamir White (groin) being out of action. However, the UTSA product didn't see a single snap on offense, only getting to contribute on special teams.

Elevated from practice squad The Raiders elevated McCormick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact McCormick has been with the Raiders' organization since signing as an undrafted free agent in May of 2022. He has spent his entire NFL tenure on Las Vegas' practice squad, and Saturday is the first time he has been elevated to the active roster. With Zamir White (groin) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, McCormick will, if active, serve as the No. 4 running back behind Alexander Mattison, Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube.
