Mattison (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 14 battle against the Buccaneers, isn't likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mattison was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, but it doesn't appear that he's ready to return to game action. If he is indeed held out Sunday, it will be the veteran tailback's third straight absence. Zamir White (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for Week 14, so Las Vegas' backfield will likely consist of Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick and Dylan Laube against Tampa Bay.

Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
For a second straight week, Mattison has operated with a cap on his reps and ended it as questionable to suit up. He ultimately was inactive last Friday at Kansas City, but if he returns this weekend there's a chance he'll retake control of the Raiders backfield from Ameer Abdullah and Sincere McCormick, with Zamir White (quadriceps) still sidelined.

Mattison (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mattison has now been listed as limited on five consecutive practice reports, but after missing the Raiders' last two contests, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Even if Mattison gets the green light to play Sunday, he may not take on as expansive of a role out of the Las Vegas backfield as he had enjoyed prior to sustaining the ankle injury. Mattison is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on the season, and the Raiders had success on the ground in his absence with 2022 undrafted free agent Sincere McCormick, who gained 97 yards on 17 totes (5.7 YPC) over the past two weeks.

Mattison (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fellow running back Zamir White (quadriceps) was a non-participant and thus appears more likely than Mattison to miss a third straight game. Ameer Abdullah filled in as the starter the past two weeks, but Sincere McCormick had a significant role in the second game, taking 38 percent of snaps and a team-high 12 carries (for 64 yards) in the 19-17 loss to Kansas City on Friday. It's hard to say what Mattison's role will be if he returns this Sunday against Tampa Bay, considering he's averaging 3.3 yards per carry this season and has reached 40 rushing yards in just one of his five starts.

Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Friday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
With Mattison and Zamir White (quadriceps) both inactive, Ameer Abdullah is in a position to continue to lead the Raiders' backfield Friday, with practice squad elevation Sincere McCormick mixing in, while Dylan Laube is on hand in reserve. The next chance for either Mattison or White to return to the lineup arrives Dec. 8 versus the Buccaneers.

Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
While Mattison, who the Raiders deemed limited on their Tuesday through Thursday practice reports, has a chance to face Kansas City, Zamir White (quadriceps) was ruled out by the team. Confirmation of Mattison's Week 13 status will arrive once Las Vegas' inactives are posted ahead of Friday's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's limited or out, Ameer Abdullah would be in line to continue to see added backfield snaps, with Sincere McCormick and Dylan Laube also available to mix in.

Mattison (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mattison at least is ahead of fellow Raiders running back Zamir White, who hasn't practiced since suffering a quad injury Week 11. Mattison injured his ankle later in the same game and then missed Week 12, allowing Ameer Abdullah to play 88 percent of snaps in a loss to Denver this past Sunday. Mattison could be back in the lead role if he's active for Friday's game against the Chiefs at 3:00 p.m. ET.

Mattison (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Raiders held a walkthrough Tuesday, that Mattison was deemed limited is an improvement over his trio of DNPs last week. The running back was unable to play against Denver on Sunday, as was No. 2 back Zamir White (quadricep), leaving ball-carrying duties primarily to Ameer Abdullah. White was estimated as not practicing Tuesday, and if neither he nor Mattison can return Friday against Kansas City, Abdullah figures to lead Las Vegas' rushing attack again.

Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
With Zamir White (quadricep) also inactive, Ameer Abdullah is next up at running back for the Raiders on Sunday, while Dylan Laube and practice-squad elevation Sincere McCormick are also in line to mix in versus Denver. The next chance for Mattison and/or White see game action will arrive this coming Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET, when the Raiders face the Chiefs on the road.

Mattison (ankle) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, Zamir White (quadricep) also will be deemed doubtful for the contest, paving the way for the Raiders to likely be without both backs this weekend. If the duo is inactive versus Denver, Las Vegas would likely start Ameer Abdullah at running back, according to Reed, with Dylan Laube and practice-squad member Sincere McCormick also in the mix, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
