Won't face Cardinals Jordan (knee) is inactive for Saturday's matchup against Arizona.

Impact Jordan was considered doubtful heading into the weekend, and it's now confirmed that the 2013 No. 3 overall draft choice will miss his third game of the season. The 30-year-old hasn't sat out since Week 2, but this development means defensive end depth is going to be depleted behind starters Arik Armstead and Kerry Hyder.

Unlikely to play Saturday Jordan (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals.

Impact After practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday, Jordan sat out of Thursday's practice. He's on track to miss his first game since re-signing with the team ahead of Week 3. His absence leaves about 30 defensive snaps up for grabs; Dekoda Watson and Jordan Willis are candidates to see more work in Jordan's place.

Week 15 ends with injury Jordan (knee) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact After fielding his first start of the 2020 campaign last Sunday in a loss to Washington, Jordan will now be forced to a premature exit. The 2013 No. 3 overall draft choice stands one sack away from equaling his career high (four), but he'll only have two more opportunities to retake the field Weeks 16 and 17 against division rivals Arizona and Seattle.

Sack on Sunday Jordan recorded three tackles (one solo) and a sack across 49 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to Washington.

Impact Jordan now has a sack in back-to-back contests after only recording one sack through the first 12 weeks of the season. Sunday also marked Jordan's highest single-game snap count of the year. Should he keep up this high level of play, look for the high rep count to remain.

Impact Jordan's promotion to the active roster coincides with the placement of both Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) on injured reserve.

Impact Jordan served a 10-game suspension last season and didn't make much of an impact when the Raiders signed him, as he recorded just five tackles over seven games. He was afforded plenty of opportunities, too, averaging 25.1 defensive snaps per contest.
