The veteran cornerback had managed to work back to a full practice Friday after limited sessions the first two days of Week 4 prep, making his inactive status for a second straight game somewhat surprising.

Raiders' Decamerion Richardson: Full practice Friday
Rotowire
Richardson (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday versus Chicago, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.
Richardson was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. The cornerback was forced to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, and if he can't go in Week 4 against the Bears, it wouldn't carry much an impact on the Raiders' defense.

Raiders' Decamerion Richardson: Not playing Week 3
Rotowire
Richardson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Washington.
Richardson logged a pair of limited practice sessions to end the week and was deemed questionable entering Sunday. He ultimately won't be able to suit up for the first time this season. Richardson played exclusively on special teams during Las Vegas' first two games, so that's where his absence will be most felt while he remains out.
Richardson finished the 2024 season with 46 total tackles (27 solo) and three pass breakups across 12 games.
Richardson missed the first five games of the 2024 season with a hamstring injury, but once he returned, he provided the Raiders with a valuable addition to the secondary. The rookie finished with the third-highest amount of tackles at cornerback on the team behind Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs. Richardson could step into a more prominent role in 2025 with Hobbs heading into the offseason as a free agent.

Raiders' Decamerion Richardson: Team-high tackle total in loss
Rotowire
Richardson finished with eight tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.
The rookie, who missed the first five games of the season with a hamstring injury, also played on every defensive snap for the first time this season. Richardson played on 97 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 11 after seeing 38 combined defensive snaps over the previous four games. The fourth-round pick's status for next week will likely depend on the availability of Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle).
