  The Raiders elevated Wilkerson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. It's the third and final time Wilkerson can be elevated by the Raiders from the practice squad. He was last elevated for Week 7 against the Rams, during which he logged 24 snaps (18 on offense, six on special teams) but did not show up on the box score. Wilkerson's elevation gives the Raiders insurance at wide receiver in case Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is unable to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Wilkerson was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats in the team's 20-15 loss to the Rams. The wide receiver played 18 of the team's 79 offensive snaps, which was the fourth-highest total amongst players at his position. With Davante Adams now with the Jets and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) still banged up, it's possible that Wilkerson is active again in Week 8 versus Kansas City.
