Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Logs 22 touches versus Denver
Jeanty rushed 19 times for 60 yards and a touchdown and secured three of five targets for three yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Jeanty was essentially the lone bright spot for the Raiders' offense, and he put the team's only touchdown of the night on the board with a four-yard run late in the first quarter. Jeanty generally found tough sledding on the ground against a talented Broncos defense, and in Las Vegas' first game without the traded Jakobi Meyers, the rookie first-round pick logged his second straight five-target tally. Jeanty draws a much more palatable matchup next time out, as the Raiders welcome in a beatable Cowboys defense on Monday night, Nov. 17.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Converts one FGA in win
Lutz went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Thursday night's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Lutz missed a 59-yard field-goal try short in the third quarter before later connecting from 32 yards with five seconds left in the period. The kicker has made at least one field goal in six consecutive contests, and he's now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 games this year.

Brock Bowers TE | LV
Raiders' Brock Bowers: Major downturn in TNF loss
Bowers brought in one of three targets for 31 yards and rushed once for minus-4 yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
After putting together a career-best yardage total and recording three touchdowns just four days earlier against the Jaguars in a narrow overtime loss, Bowers saw a major downturn in production against a much stingier Broncos defense. The talented tight end did make a nice splash on his one reception and logged a rush attempt for the second straight contest, but he fell victim to another modest night for Las Vegas' air attack. Bowers' upside is above question, but Geno Smith's (quadriceps) ongoing struggles always have the potential to cap the 2024 first-round pick's production. Bowers and the Raiders do have a more palatable matchup next time out, as they'll host the Cowboys for a Monday night Week 11 matchup on Nov. 17.

Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Decker was able to return to practice after opening the week as a non-participant Wednesday due to the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 9 against the Vikings. The offensive tackle isn't overly worried about the injury, saying Thursday that, "it'll be there, but I don't foresee an issue," in regards to his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News.

Amen Ogbongbemiga LB | DET
Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Activated from IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Ogbongbemiga is all set to make his season debut after missing the team's first eight contests of the year while recovering from a knee injury. The 27-year-old recorded 13 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, while appearing in all 17 regular-season games with the Bears in 2024, though he did operate primarily as a special-teams option. This season, Ogbongbemiga is set to slot in as the top reserve option behind T.J. Edwards (hand) at middle linebacker.

Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Absent from practice
Darrisaw (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Geno Smith QB | NYJ
Raiders' Geno Smith: Night may be done
Smith is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Broncos with a quad injury.
Smith has been under constant pressure throughout the game, but this injury occurred early in the fourth quarter on a scramble. After a two-play absence, he returned to the field but was visibly limping and in discomfort. Smith is officially questionable, but he was seen on the bench with his upper left leg wrapped and without a helmet.

DeMarvin Leal LB | NYG
DeMarvin Leal: Let go by Pittsburgh
Leal was waived by the Steelers on Thursday.
Leal appeared in three games with the Steelers after being signed to the active roster Sept. 17, recording two total tackles (one solo) while playing 17 snaps on defense and nine with the special-teams unit. The defensive lineman will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely stick around with the practice squad in Pittsburgh.
