Carr's TD pass with 5 seconds left lifts Raiders past Jets

Done for day with head injury Arnette (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Impact The rookie first-rounder sustained a concussion and neck injury during the Raiders' Week 12 loss to Atlanta, but he was cleared for Sunday's game after logging a full practice session Friday. Arnette went down early against New York, exiting after assisting on a tackle of Frank Gore on the Jets' second play from scrimmage. The 24-year-old will have to clear league concussion protocol if he is to be available for a Week 14 matchup against the Colts. Two head injuries in quick succession render that outcome less likely.

Leaves Sunday's game Arnette exited Sunday's game against the Jets to be evaluated for a concussion.

Impact The 24-year-old suffered a concussion last week against the Falcons, but he was cleared for Sunday's contest only to leave in the opening minutes. Arnette is officially questionable to return, but the team figures to be extra cautious given the circumstances.

Ready for Week 13 Arnette (concussion/neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact The 24-year-old began the week not practicing due to the concussion and neck issues, but he was able to progress to full participation Friday. Arnette could have an expanded role Sunday if Trayvon Mullen (illness) is unable to play.

Upgrades to limited practice Arnette (concussion/neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Arnette couldn't practice in any capacity, so his current limited activity represents a step in the right direction. He'll need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before being allowed to suit up, however, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is still unclear.

Misses practice Wednesday Arnette (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact It was confirmed last Sunday that Arnette suffered a concussion in the loss to the Falcons, so this news affirms the 2020 first-round pick is still in the league's concussion protocol. At this point, Arnette's chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jets are murky at best, as he'll need to clear concussion protocol. If Arnette was forced to miss Week 13, Amik Robertson and Keisean Nixon would be in line for an increased snap count.

Logs full Thanksgiving practice Arnette (illness) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie cornerback was ailing from an illness and unable to log any practice participation Wednesday, but he's quickly returned to a full workload. Arnette has already been marred by injury in 2020, missing five games between October and November due to a thumb issue. Barring a setback in regards to his recent illness, it appears he is in line for his sixth appearance of 2020 Sunday against the Falcons.

Not practicing Wednesday Arnette didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

Impact The 24-year-old played 91 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but he's now dealing with an illness. Arnette's status for this weekend should receive additional clarity after Thursday's and Friday's practice sessions.

Returning to action Sunday Arnette (thumb) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick will play Sunday against the Broncos, and he should continue to handle major responsibility in the secondary. Arnette played at least 72 percent of the defensive snaps in every game before the injury, but there were some growing pains in coverage, as he allowed 10.0 yards per target and a 108.3 passer rating.
