Nailor (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Thursday's was Nailor's first practice since he suffered a concussion back in Week 4 versus the Chiefs. He presumably still needs to clear league concussion protocol before he'll be able to return to game action, and his status for Week 6 should become more clear when Las Vegas publishes its final injury report of the week Friday.
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Monday that Nailor (concussion) is expected to practice this week, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
After sustaining a concussion in the Raiders' Oct. 4 loss to the Chiefs, Nailor wasn't able to practice in any fashion in Week 5 before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's eventual 45-17 loss to the Patriots. Nailor remains in concussion protocol, but he looks poised to take a step forward by getting back on the practice field Wednesday as at least a limited participant. So long as he upgrades to full participation by the end of the week and gains clearance from an independent neurologist, Nailor should be ready to handle a starting role at receiver in Sunday's matchup with the Bills.
Everyone sharing the ball with Jalen, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
Nailor took a blow to the head late in the second quarter, and he was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion. The wide receiver will finish his day having recorded no stats. In his absence, Tre Tucker, Cody White and Dareke Young will operate as the Raiders' top options at wide receiver.
Nailor caught one of his three targets for 16 yards in the Raiders' 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Nailor struggled for the Raiders in Week 3. The team relied more on tight end Brock Bowers to carry the receiving offense. Tre Tucker and Nailor received over three times fewer targets than the tight end in the contest, with Bowers establishing the pecking order early in his return from injury.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
