Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers expected to miss 2nd game in a row with an ankle injury

Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is expected to miss his second game in a row because of an ankle injury when Las Vegas visits the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

OCTOBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doubtful for Week 7 Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Meyers (ankle) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Meyers will miss his third straight practice of the week, and likely his second straight game due to a lingering ankle injury. With Davante Adams having been traded to the Jets on Tuesday, Meyers would be in position to work as Las Vegas' top wide receiver, if on the field. However, things are trending toward Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson leading the Raiders' wide receiver corps, in addition to rookie phenom Brock Bowers at tight end. Final word on Meyer's status will arrive 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, at the latest.

Still not practicing Meyers (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meyers didn't practice Wednesday, so what the wideout is able to do Friday will loom large in terms of his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams. With Davante Adams now a member of the Jets, Meyers -- when healthy -- will have an opportunity to see a steady share of WR snaps and targets in the Raiders offense as the season progresses.

Not in line to practice Wednesday Meyers (ankle) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Meyers, who missed this last weekend's game against the Steelers, thus has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. Once he's available to return to the Raiders' lineup, Meyers will have an opportunity to lead the team's WR corps, given that Davante Adams was traded to the Jets on Tuesday, but for now his Week 7 status has yet to be determined.

Impact Meyers managed just one limited practice last week (Friday) and was downgraded from 'questionable' to 'doubtful' before Sunday's eventual loss to the Steelers. It sounds like he has a good chance to return for Week 7, and he's now locked in as the leader of a WR room that just lost Davante Adams in a trade with the Jets.

Sitting out in Week 6 Meyers (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

Impact After logging one limited practice (Friday) during Week 6 prep, Meyers received a questionable designation ahead of the weekend, but his downgrade to doubtful Saturday signaled that he was destined for his first absence of the campaign due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive contest, the Raiders' receiving corps will be composed of Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson on Sunday.

Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers downgraded to doubtful for game versus Steelers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was downgraded to doubtful Saturday because of an ankle injury

OCTOBER 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doubtful for Sunday Meyers (ankle) was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact This couldn't be a more challenging 2024 debut for incoming starter Aidan O'Connell, who will be without Davante Adams (hamstring) and likely Meyers as well. An unheralded group of pass catchers in Tyreik McAllister, DJ Turner and Tre Tucker will have to take on a heavy load with the top two starters expected not to play, but it's the latter in Tucker who profiles as the likeliest fantasy asset given he's accumulated 20 targets combined in the past three weeks.

Status in question for Week 6 Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With one limited practice (Friday) under his belt this week, Meyers' availability for Week 6 action won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he'll continue to serve as the Raiders' No. 1 WR with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight game. On the first two occasions, Meyers recorded 11 catches (on 19 targets) for 121 yards and no touchdowns, while Tre Tucker (7-59-0 on 11 targets) was a distant second in terms of usage. Las Vegas made a change under center this week from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell, so there could be some jostling in terms of target share for an active Meyers and Tucker moving forward.

Returning to practice Friday Coach Antonio Pierce said Meyers (ankle) will take part in Friday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Meyers has missed back-to-back sessions to begin Week 6 prep due to an ankle injury, but his return to drills is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers. Fellow WR Davante Adams (ankle) isn't expected to be available for that contest, so Meyers' status is key for a banged-up Raiders receiving corps.

Logs another missed practice Meyers missed his second straight practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.

Impact With top WR Davante Adams (ankle) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status gains added import ahead of Week 6 action. A return to practice, in any capacity, on the part of Meyers on Friday would bode well for his chances of facing Pittsburgh, but he'll need to practice fully in such a scenario in order to avoid an injury designation.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to limited practice Meyers (ankle) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The quick return after sitting out Wednesday's practice seemingly puts Meyers on track to play this Sunday against the Steelers in what will be QB Aidan O'Connell's first start of the season. Meyers and TE Brock Bowers profile as O'Connell's top targets, with Davante Adams (hamstring) still not practicing and potentially getting traded soon.

Dealing with ankle issue Meyers (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact With Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status is worth monitoring closely in the coming days. Over the last two games (both of which Adams has missed), Meyers has combined for 11 catches for 121 yards on 19 targets.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Another nine targets Meyers recorded six receptions on nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Meyers finished second on the team in targets behind Brock Bowers and now has 19 targets combined across two games without Davante Adams (hamstring). He also managed his highest yardage total of the season thanks to long gains of 21, 18 and 16 yards. Quarterback play will remain a question in Las Vegas, but Meyers should have a key role in the offense assuming Adams is traded, as is currently expected.

Ten targets in Adams' absence Meyers caught five of 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Impact Meyers paced the Raiders in targets and receiving yards in the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring). Adams is considered week-to-week, so Meyers could remain the team's de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 5 against the Broncos. Meyers has 19 targets over the last two games after being targeted only eight times in the first two games of the season.
