• Raiders' Zamir White: Rushing TD on minimal volume

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  White rushed six times for 10 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. White didn't see much of an uptick in volume despite head coach Antonio Pierce's recent remarks about getting him more involved, but he did make good on a red-zone opportunity by capping off the opening drive of the game with a one-yard touchdown run. As his final line implies, White did next to nothing the rest of the way, however, and he's now gone three straight games with single-digit carries. With backfield mate Alexander Mattison logging three more rush attempts Sunday, it appears White continues to play second fiddle in the ground attack heading into the Week 10 bye.

• Raiders' Zamir White: Cleared to play Week 9

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  White (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals. White missed consecutive games in Weeks 5 and 6 due to a groin issue, but he had logged limited snaps in both of the past two contests behind lead back Alexander Mattison. Though he was nursing a new injury during Week 9 prep and had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, White cleared up most of the concern about his health by turning in a full practice Friday. While Mattison is once again in line to serve as the Raiders' starting running back Sunday, head coach Antonio Pierce expressed a desire earlier in the week to get White more involved in the game plan. Even if White benefits from an uptick in snaps and touches in Week 9, however, he won't make for a dependable lineup option. White had previously worked ahead of Mattison in Weeks 1 through 4, but he didn't score any touchdowns and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry on 49 totes while catching just five passes during that stretch.

• Raiders' Zamir White: Questionable after full practice

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  White (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after being a full participant in practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. White's full participation Friday was encouraging after he logged a DNP on Thursday, but that wasn't enough to avoid an injury designation. If White's able to play Sunday, he will likely continue to cede most of the touches in Vegas' backfield to Alexander Mattison. White's averaging a disappointing 3.0 yards per carry.

• Raiders' Zamir White: Sidelined at practice Thursday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  White (quad) didn't practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. After being a limited practice participant Wednesday, White downgraded to a DNP one day later. It remains to be seen if that's related to a setback or if the Raiders are simply managing the running back's practice reps as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches. Either way, Friday's injury report will reveal White's Week 9 game status. If he's available this weekend, the 2022 fourth-rounder would be in line to work in a complementary role behind starter Alexander Mattison.

• Raiders' Zamir White: Limited by quad injury

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  White was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a quadricep injury. White's injury doesn't seem to be a major concern, considering he was still able to practice in some fashion after head coach Antonio Pierce expressed a desire earlier Wednesday to get the third-year running back some more work moving forward. Pierce said Wednesday that Alexander Mattison remains the starter but could cede more snaps to White, who showed "some positives last year" and now has "got to get out of his funk," according to Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site. Realistically, both are better suited for backup roles, but it's possible the pendulum swings back to White at some point in the coming weeks.
