The Raiders have signed LB Blake Martinez to the active roster from the practice squad and reportedly plan to play him in Monday night's game against the Chiefs. LB Denzel Perryman also might be trending toward a return from the concussion that knocked him out of last week's game. Perryman put in a limited practice Thursday and then returned to full participation Friday. That all makes it tough to know how much LB Divine Deablo will play. He has been the full-timer in Perryman's absence. LB Jayon Brown might be trending toward getting out of the way because of a hamstring injury. After a limited Thursday practice, he missed Friday completely. We'll see about the status of the whole LB crew Saturday.
Raiders LB Denzel Perryman left Sunday's win over the Broncos early with a concussion. He had just returned from the ankle sprain that knocked him out of Week 1 early. We'll see how Perryman progresses through the league protocol. Divine Deablo worked as the corps leader with Perryman out before. Jayon Brown got playing time in the 70-80% range.
Raiders LB Denzel Perryman put in a limited practice Wednesday, the 1st time he has been on the field since leaving the opener with an ankle injury. We'll see just what the LB roles look like if Perryman's ready for game action. Divine Deablo has led the group in snaps the past 3 weeks. Pro Football Focus grades him just 68th, however, among 86 LBs with 45+ snaps played so far. LB Jason Brown checks in 70th, trailing Deablo as the #2 in playing time. Perryman was the every-down LB for last year's Raiders but has an uneven history of use across 3 franchises.
The Raiders have ruled LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Titans. It'll be his 2nd straight missed game with the Week 1 injury. Perryman's absence should keep LB Divine Deablo in the lead role and elevate playing time again for LB Jayon Brown. They played 100% and 77% of defensive snaps, respectively, in Week 2. S Trevor Moehrig (hip) is questionable.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Raiders LB Denzel Perryman is considered day-to-day with the ankle injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. That puts Perryman in play for Week 2. We'll watch his status through the practice week. Divine Deablo led Vegas LBs in playing time in Perryman's absence, with Jayon Brown trailing.
Raiders LB Denzel Perryman is questionable for Sunday's game after returning for a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday. Perryman missed the past 2 games with the injury. His return would push Divine Deablo back to a reserve role.
The Raiders have ruled LB Denzel Perryman out for the 2nd straight game with his ankle injury. That should clear the way for rookie Divine Deablo to start in his place again. Deablo, a converted safety, has delivered double-digit tackles each of the past 2 weeks -- including the game Perryman left early with his injury. Deablo makes for a nice play in tackle-friendly IDP formats.
