The Las Vegas Raiders have their first early road start of the season in New England. Fans are excited to see them bounce back after last week’s loss to the Chiefs.
Of course, every NFL team is dealing with injuries right now, and the Raiders are no different. Jalen Nailor and Jack Bech are out for the Raiders, plus Ashton Jeanty is questionable for Sunday’s matchup. That is why the Raiders sent running back Roman Hemby and wide receiver Devyn Thompkins to the practice squad.
Hemby was a teammate of
potential franchise quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who went undrafted in 2026. He had a strong preseason and will make his NFL debut this Week.
