Facyson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Raiders on Wednesday, according to the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Since the move happened after cutdown day, Facyson can return after four regular-season games. The cornerback missed most of 2023 with a shin injury, only playing in three games and making five tackles. Facyson should be a depth corner for Las Vegas upon his return.

The veteran corner has been dealing with this shin injury for over a month, as he was carted off the field during training camp Aug. 1. Facyson agreed to terms with Las Vegas this offseason after spending 2022 with Indianapolis. The 29-year-old will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the coming season.

Facyson (shin) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Facyson being ruled out for Week 1 doesn't come as much of a surprise. Until he's ready to play again, fourth-round rookie Jakorian Bennett could be in line for more snaps than he would have been otherwise.

EDGE Analysis
Facyson had to be carted off the field Tuesday, and although he was unable to return for practice Wednesday, the injury is not believed to be serious. Head coach Josh McDaniels added, "I don't think it's going to be too long-term." Facyson spent last season with the Colts, after being a Raider for the 2021 campaign, compiling 28 tackles and six passes defended.

Facyson was carted off during Raiders practice Tuesday after suffering an apparent leg injury, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Facyson was standing out at camp before suffering this leg injury, but head coach Josh McDaniels doesn't believe he'll be out for a long period of time. McDaniels told reporters Wednesday that there's no update on the veteran cornerback's injury but suggested "it won't be too long term." Once he returns to full health, expect the 28-year-old Facyson to serve as a rotational corner for the Raiders ahead of the coming season.
