LAS VEGAS RAIDERS NEWS

Brian Hoyer - Poor showing in Chicago Hoyer completed 17 of 32 passes for 129 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

Impact Getting the start with Jimmy Garoppolo (back) inactive, Hoyer struggled to move the ball, and the Raiders generated only two field goals while the veteran QB was under center. He got replaced by Aidan O'Connell late in the game after throwing a pick-six, and per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the switch wasn't the result of an injury to Hoyer but simply a product of the lopsided score. Garoppolo is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Hoyer might not even dress as the No. 2 quarterback after this dismal performance.

Divine Deablo - Won't return Week 7 Deablo (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Deablo sustained an ankle injury during the first half, and he was ruled out shortly after the start of the third quarter. While the nature of this injury is still unknown, his next opportunity to play will come against the Lions on Monday Night Football in Week 8.

Divine Deablo - Exits game Saturday Deablo (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Chicago.

Impact Deablo logged four tackles before suffering an apparent ankle injury at some point during the first half. The 25-year-old logged the Raiders' second-most tackles (48) through the first six games of the season, so his absence will leave Las Vegas with a big hole to fill. Expect Kana'i Mauga and Luke Masterson to step into bigger roles at linebacker for the time being.

Brian Hoyer - On track to start Hoyer is in line to start Sunday's game against the Bears in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo (back), sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Impact Head coach Josh McDaniels never officially confirmed a Week 7 starting quarterback after Garoppolo was ruled out for the game following Friday's practice, but Hoyer looks like he'll get his first start of the season after rookie Aidan O'Connell previously drew the assignment when Garoppolo was sidelined for a Week 4 loss to the Chargers due to a concussion. Hoyer was active as the No. 2 quarterback for this past Sunday's game against the Patriots and stepped in capably when Garoppolo exited the contest in the second half. He proved to be a competent game manager as the Raiders finished out the 21-17 win, completing six of 10 pass attempts for 102 yards while committing no turnovers. Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Garoppolo is expected to return to the lineup for the Raiders' Week 8 game against the Lions, so Hoyer's run atop the depth chart will likely last just one contest.

Jimmy Garoppolo - Poised for return Week 8 Garoppolo (back), who is listed as out for Sunday's game at Chicago, is expected to return to the lineup for the Raiders' Week 8 game in Detroit on Oct. 30, Adam Schefter of ESPN r...

Impact Garoppolo will be missing his second game of the season Sunday, this time on account of a back injury after he sat out the Raiders' Week 4 loss to the Chargers while in concussion protocol. Though Garoppolo didn't practice in any fashion this week while dealing with what has been described as overall back soreness, Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels said the signal-caller "dodged a big bullet" after scans showed no internal injuries, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Brian Hoyer -- who came on in relief of the injured Garoppolo in the Raiders' Week 6 win over the Patriots -- will pick up his first start of the season this Sunday while Garoppolo gets some extra time off to heal.

Jakorian Bennett - Won't play Week 7 Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Bennett missed Week 5 against Green Bay, and he was then deemed questionable Week 6 versus New England because of a shoulder injury. The cornerback was ultimately able to suit up for that contest, but he's been ruled out for Week 7 after following a pair of limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday with a DNP on Friday. Nate Hobbs (ankle) will also miss Sunday's game in Chicago, so Tyler Hall and Amik Robertson should get extended run again.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nate Hobbs - Set to miss another contest Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game in Chicago, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Hobbs has already missed three games due to an ankle injury, and he didn't practice at all this week before being ruled out for the fourth consecutive contest. Jakorian Bennett has also been deemed out due to a lingering shoulder injury, so Tyler Hall and Amik Robertson could again be pressed into extra duty in Las Vegas' defensive backfield.

Justin Herron - In line to play Sunday Herron (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Herron went from being a limited participant in Thursday's practice to a full go Friday, as he's moved past his concussion and will be available this Sunday. The 27-year-old tackle has played only two snaps this year, with both of them coming on special teams.

Aidan O'Connell - Likely backing up Hoyer on Sunday O'Connell is in line to serve as Brian Hoyer's backup this Sunday at Chicago with Jimmy Garoppolo (back) ruled out for the Week 7 contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact O'Connell previously got the nod for Garoppolo when the latter missed Week 4 due to a concussion, completing 24 of 39 passes for 238 yards, no touchdowns and one interception, rushing three times for three yards and a TD and fumbling three times (two lost). With Garoppolo now sidelined due to a back injury, Hoyer will get the first chance to step in after leading the Raiders to a 19-17 win against the Patriots this past Sunday. In the end, though, O'Connell is just one play away from seeing his next game action.

Brian Hoyer - Expected to start Sunday The Raiders have yet to confirm whether Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell will start Sunday's game against the Bears in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (back), but Hoyer is expected to draw the as...

Impact Though O'Connell drew the start when Garoppolo was sidelined Week 4 against the Chargers due to a concussion, it was Hoyer who stepped in for Garoppolo after he exited this past Sunday's win over the Patriots. This time around, the Raiders appear set to proceed with the more experienced option in Hoyer, and assuming that's confirmed, the veteran signal-caller will represent a lineup option for those who roster Garoppolo or are otherwise scrambling for a quarterback in Week 7.

Brian Hoyer - Possible starter with Jimmy G out Either Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell will start Sunday against the Bears, as Jimmy Garoppolo (back) was ruled out Friday.

Impact O'Connell got the starting nod when Garoppolo missed Week 4 due to a concussion, but Hoyer has been working as Garoppolo's primary backup, and the veteran came on in relief after Garoppolo hurt his back Week 6. Coach Josh McDaniels said both available quarterbacks have enjoyed a strong week of practice, but he has yet to name a starter for Sunday's battle of backup quarterbacks against a Bears team that's expected to deploy Tyson Bagent under center with Justin Fields (thumb) unavailable.

Jimmy Garoppolo - Won't play in Week 7 Garoppolo (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Garoppolo was forced out of the Raiders' Week 6 win against the Patriots with a back injury in the second quarter and took an ambulance to a local hospital. After failing to practice at all Wednesday through Friday, he'll miss at least one contest as a result. The Raiders have yet to make a decision on their Week 7 starting quarterback, but coach Josh McDaniels told Tashan Reed of The Athletic that they'll know for sure who's getting the call between veteran Brian Hoyer and rookie fourth-round pick Aidan O'Connell after Friday's session. Garoppolo's next chance to play comes Oct. 30 at Detroit.
