The Las Vegas Raiders promoted wide receiver Shedrick Jackson to the 53-man roster from the practice squad this week. Let’s get to know him:

Size:

6-1, 195 pounds.

NFL experience:

He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023 as an undrafted free agent. He started the season on the practice squad after not making the initial 53-man roster in August. He finished the season on the 53-man roster. He didn’t make the team again in training camp in 2024 and started the season on the practice squad before being released in September. He played in five games with the Bengals...

With both the host Las Vegas Raiders and visiting New York Giants entering their Week 17 matchup riding nine-game losing skids, conventional wisdom says one of those teams will snap its horrendous streak.

Both teams are 2-13 on the year, haven’t won a game since early October, have gone through coaching staff upheaval, and are in a battle for the top pick in next year’s draft. Hence the moniker of this Sunday afternoon matchup as: The No. 1 Pick In The 2026 NFL Draft Bowl.

But the Silver & Black and the G-Men have been anything but conventional.

Normalcy is...

The Las Vegas Raiders promoted guard Atonio Mafi to their 53-man roster from the practice squad this week.

Let’s take a closer look at Mafi:

Size:

6-3, 330 pounds.

NFL experience:

The New England Patriots drafted him in the fifth round in 2023. He was waived in 2024. The Indianapolis Colts signed him and he spent time on their practice squad and roster. The Colts cut him in May, 2025 and the Raiders signed him right before training camp. He didn’t make the roster after training camp and spent most of the season on the practice squad. He has played...

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 draft class fared in a 23-21 loss at the Houston Texans on Sunday and ahead to Week 17’s home game against the New York Giants.

Tyree Wilson:

Wilson played 21 snaps at Houston, a week after playing just six snaps at the Eagles. His snap count is still low, but, at least, he played more than just six snaps. He had one assisted tackle as his underwhelming Raiders’ career continues for the No. 7 overall pick in 2023.

Michael Mayer:

The second-round pick played 66 percent of the snaps,...

It hasn’t been a great season for the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense, but it has been good in a very key area — it has gotten more than its share of tackles for losses.

Sunday, at the Houston Texans , Las Vegas recorded five tackles for loss. They accomplished that feat, according to the team’s public relations department, for the 11th time in 15 games. Only the Cleveland Browns have had more with 12 than Las Vegas in the entire league.

That’s a pretty cool stat and it is a real impact. The Raiders’ tackle-for-loss prowess, of course, is powered...

It’s not often that the two worst teams in the league square off this late in the season. So, the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants are set up for a big matchup in Week 17, as this game has appropriately been nicknamed ‘The Tank Bowl’!

Also, we have just two weeks left in the regular season for our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition. We will continue the competition through the Super Bowl, but time is running out to make a big push.

Raiders vs. Giants...

Las Vegas Raiders ILB Devin White broke the Raiders single season tackle record after logging 11 tackles vs Houston on Sunday in a 23-21 loss bringing his season total to 160 tackles and just the 12th player since 2019 to record 160+ tackles in a single season. White has logged a total 160 tackles, 10 TFL, sack, 4 QB Hits, INT, 2 PBU, and forced fumble this season. Without his game vs the Titans, White has failed to log a sack or forced turnover this season. Despite his production, the near 28 year old linebacker has struggled immensely at times...

Free-agent signing Eric Stokes has been one of the few pleasant surprises for the Las Vegas Raiders this season, and his performance in Week 16 against the Houston Texans was another solid outing. Stokes was targeted six times and only surrendered two completions, for 13 yards, no first downs and a passer rating of 42.4, according to Pro Football Focus.

To make matters even better, the Texans tested the five-year veteran with their No. 1 wide receiver, Nico Collins, but only completed one of four attempts for just six yards. Also, Stokes was credited with a forced incompletion and provided...

The Raiders claimed DT Brodric Martin off waivers on Thursday, and the former Detroit Lions third rounder now heads to Las Vegas where in year three he’s only logged 63 career snaps. Martin stands at an impressive 6’5, 330 and plays, as expected, your traditional 0/1 tech as a true nose tackle. Originally a consensus 5th round prospect, Martin didn’t blow anyone away in the pre draft process with his athletic testing outside of his height/weight combination, and despite that he was still selected 96th overall by the Detroit Lions in 2023. Martin lod 62 tackles, 6 TFL, 4 sacks,...

There has been incredible turnover for the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff in recent years.

Patrick Graham, however, has been a constant.

Graham has been the Raiders’ defensive coordinator since 2022 when he joined new head coach Josh McDaniels’ staff as a highly-touted hire. Graham was then retained by new head coach Antonio Pierce in 2024 and new head coach Pete Carroll in 2025. It’s pretty rare in the league for a high-level assistant coach to be retained by two additional head coaches.

Now, frankly, though, it’s time for Graham to leave the Raiders.

Many in the NFL are assuming...

This is a big development for those who want the Las Vegas Raiders to wave the white flag and tank for the No. 1 pick.

Wednesday, four days before the Raiders host the fellow 2-13 New York Giants in a game that will have a major impact on determining the No. 1 overall draft pick in April, the team have placed both superstar tight end Brock Bowers and safety Jeremy Chinn on the injured reserve. Thus, their seasons are now over.

Bowers missed three games in the middle of the season because of a lingering knee injury he suffered in...
