• Jalen Guyton: Signed to Raiders' practice squad

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  After failing to make the Raiders' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Guyton signed with Las Vegas on the practice squad Wednesday. Guyton spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Chargers, during which he caught seven touchdowns across 46 regular-season outings. He spent the first two weeks of training camp on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed injury, but he was able to suit up for the Raiders' three preseason games, during which he registered six catches (on seven targets) for 51 yards. Guyton should get a call-up if any of the Raiders' wide receivers on the active roster were to miss time.

• Raiders' Jalen Guyton: Comes off PUP list

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Raiders activated Guyton (undisclosed) off their active/PUP list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Guyton had been dealing with an undisclosed injury that forced him to miss almost two weeks of Raiders practice, but it now appears as if he's moved past the issue. The North Texas product has struggled with injuries over the last two seasons, appearing in just 11 regular-season games with the Chargers. If Guyton is able to remain healthy, he's expected to serve as a solid deep threat in his first year with Las Vegas.

• Raiders' Jalen Guyton: Starting camp on PUP list

  07/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Raiders placed Guyton (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday. Guyton is eligible to be activated off the PUP list at any time during training camp once he is healthy enough to return from his unspecified injury. After spending the the first five years of his career with the Chargers, Guyton signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in May. He played in just eight regular-season games last season due to a leg injury, finishing with just 10 catches on 21 targets for 89 yards and one touchdown. Once he returns, Guyton should see additional opportunities on offense as the fourth wide receiver behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker after the Raiders placed Michael Gallup on the Reserve/Retired list Tuesday.

• Raiders' Jalen Guyton: Links with Las Vegas

  05/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Raiders signed Guyton to a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Guyton is coming off a 2023 season in which a leg injury forced him to spend the first eight games on the PUP list, and he ended the next eight contests with a disappointing total of 10 catches (on 21 targets) for 89 yards and a touchdown. In the past, Guyton has been a serviceable deep threat, having put up a career-best 31-448-3 line on 48 targets back in 2021. He'll compete for a depth role behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Gallup in Las Vegas.

• Chargers' Jalen Guyton: Won't play in Week 18

  01/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Guyton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Guyton didn't play the first eight weeks of the season while on the PUP list with a knee injury. He returned and didn't log any catches Week 9 but then turned some heads the following week when he caught four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. It's been a rough time for Guyton since then, however, as he's failed to record more than two receptions or 19 yards in any of his subsequent six games even with the team's top wideout, Keenan Allen (heel), missing half of those matchups. It remains to be seen where Guyton fits into the team's future plans, but he'll finished his fifth NFL campaign with disappointing totals of 10 catches on 21 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown.
