Missing Wednesday's practice Mattison (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to Zamir White (quad), with both players having been forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The duo's status is thus worth monitoring in advance of this weekend's game against the Broncos, but for the time being the healthiest running backs on the Raiders' active roster are Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube, with Chris Collier and Sincere McCormick candidates to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 12 action.

Injures ankle Sunday Mattison left Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an ankle injury.

Impact Meanwhile, fellow RB Zamir White (quad) was also forced out of the contest, leaving Ameer Abdullah to handle the team's backfield duties. Before his injury, Mattison carried five times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for 50 yards.

Nine carries in loss Mattison rushed nine times for 36 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Mattison once again led the Raiders' backfield in carries, outpacing Zamir White, who did score a rushing touchdown, by three attempts overall. Neither back was targeted in the passing game, and the non-fantasy-friendly pecking order is likely to persist through a Week 10 bye and into a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17.

May share more work with White Coach Antonio Pierce said Wednesday that Mattison will remain the starting RB, but Pierce also wants to get Zamir White more involved, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site re...

Impact Mattison started the last four games and took at least 57 percent of snaps and 17 touches in each contest, averaging 16.5 carries for 44.5 yards (2.7 YPC) and 3.8 catches for 28.8 yards (7.2 YPT) while scoring one touchdown. The volume has made him a reasonable fantasy starter, at least in PPR leagues, but his struggles on the ground seemingly open the door for White to take on a significant role again -- and possibly as soon as this Sunday at Cincinnati.

Horrific efficiency against KC Mattison rushed the ball 14 times for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. He added five receptions on five targets for 29 yards.

Impact Mattison was the only Raider to record more than two carries, but he didn't do anything to earn the continued opportunity. His longest rush went for just five yards and four of his 14 carries went for zero or negative yards. Mattison did manage to salvage his day as a receiver, as he tied for second on the team with five targets. Zamir White saw only two carries and totaled -1 yards, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Raiders mix their running back usage in Week 9 against the Bengals.

Keeps lead role in White's return Mattison rushed 23 times for 92 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Impact The Raiders got Zamir White (groin) back for the first time since Week 4, but Mattison got 23 carries to White's three. Having usurped White as the top option in Vegas' backfield, Mattison should have a high touch floor moving forward on a Raiders team that wants to play smash mouth football due to the team's lack of talent in the passing game. Mattison has logged at least 17 touches in three consecutive games heading into a Week 8 home game against the Chiefs.

Tallies touchdown as lead back Mattison rushed the ball 14 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers. He added five receptions on five targets for 32 yards.

Impact Mattison served as the lead back for the second consecutive week in the absence of Zamir White (groin). He accounted for the majority of his production on the Raiders' first offensive possession, during which Mattison recorded 25 yards on the ground and 19 on the ground while also recording his touchdown. If White is sidelined again for a Week 7 matchup against the Rams, Mattison should have the ongoing chance to be productive thanks to projected volume.

Set to lead backfield Mattison is in line to lead the Raiders backfield Sunday against the Steelers with Zamir White (groin) inactive.

Impact With White on the pine Week 5 at Denver, Mattison started and earned a 57 percent snap share en route to 15 carries for 38 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 23 yards. Meanwhile, Ameer Abdullah handled 44 percent of plays, with most of his 51 yards from scrimmage coming on a 40-yard carry, though he did have a three-yard touchdown run. A similar breakdown of reps between Mattison and Abdullah likely will come to pass Sunday.

Struggles as lead back Mattison rushed the ball 15 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on three targets for 23 yards.

Impact Mattison took over as the lead back in the Raiders' backfield and tripled his previous high in carries for the season. He was ineffective with the opportunity, however, as his longest rush went for just eight yards while averaging 2.5 yards per carry. Mattison salvaged his day to some degree with his work as a pass catcher, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see Ameer Abdullah mix in more in Week 6 against Pittsburgh if Zamir White (groin) remains sidelined.

Set for lead role with White out Mattison is set to operate as Vegas' top running back against the Broncos on Sunday, as Zamir White (groin) has been ruled out, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact White picked up the groin injury in practice Wednesday and subsequently sat out Thursday and Friday. Even before the injury to White, Mattison had been headed for an uptick in opportunities, as Mattison's averaging 5.1 yards per carry on 17 attempts this season compared to White's paltry 3.1 YPC on 49 carries. Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube could also see more touches in White's absence.
