Booker won the No. 3 running back job in Las Vegas, Josh Dubow of Fox 5 KVVU-TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booker held off both Theo Riddick and rookie third-round pick Lynn Bowden during training camp to secure a spot on the final roster. He's not expected to have a major role behind Josh Jacobs and Jalen Richard, but he's capable of stepping in if either get banged up. Booker is an effective runner and can catch passes out of the backfield, as he hauled in 38 of 51 targets for 275 yards in 2018 with the Broncos.

The Raiders removed Booker (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a brief stay on the list, Booker can get back to working his way into a regular-season roster spot with the Raiders. Not only is the backfield headlined by Josh Jacobs, but depth at the position isn't light. Behind Jacobs, both Jalen Richard and rookie Lynn Bowden likely are assured roles in the offense, leaving Booker to contend with fellow veteran Jeremy Hill for potentially just one spot.

The Raiders will placed Booker (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booker is the first Raider to test positive, or at least have been in close contact with someone who was COVID-positive in the recent past. He joined the team this offseason after four years of decreasing production with the Broncos. In particular, he played just 26 offensive snaps and 195 plays on special teams last year. With his new squad, Booker may be on the outside looking in at a spot in Las Vegas' backfield, which is composed of Josh Jacobs, Jalen Richard and rookie Lynn Bowden.

Booker agreed to terms on a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old became an unrestricted free agent in March after totaling two carries for nine yards and six catches for 57 yards in his fourth season with the Broncos in 2019. Booker had a solid rookie campaign with 877 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns, but his role in Denver steadily declined over the last few seasons. The Raiders already have Josh Jacobs (knee), Jalen Richard (ankle) and rookie third-round pick Lynn Bowden on hand in the backfield, so Booker may not be guaranteed a roster spot once the preseason ends.

Booker caught six of nine targets for 57 yards and added nine yards on two carries in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Booker has seen his yardage and touch numbers decline each year since his 877-yard rookie campaign in 2016. Booker recorded a touch in just six of 16 games in 2019 and didn't get on the stat sheet until Week 9. His role in the return game was also reduced with the emergence of former CFL star Diontae Spencer. Given the production Denver has gotten out of young stars Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, Booker figures to be playing for another squad in 2020, as the Broncos are likely to find younger, cheaper options at RB3.

Booker caught one of his two targets for two yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Booker's day could have been a little nicer if he managed to wrangle a well-placed pass downfield from Drew Lock during the Broncos' opening drive. The veteran back may be playing his final game in Mile High Sunday against the Raiders as he heads to free agency in the offseason. He's managed a few offensive snaps a game in recent weeks as he has reclaimed some of the passing-down role he enjoyed in 2018, but not nearly enough to pique your interest.

Booker earned a five-yard carry during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Booker continues to get minimal action on offense with just five snaps and one touch Sunday. He has garnered a touch in four of his last five games, but figures to be kept to a limited role behind Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. He's a solid receiver out of the backfield and should record a catch or two Sunday against a weak Detroit pass defense, but his upside is extremely limited absent an injury to Lindsay and Freeman.

Booker caught two passes for 24 yards during Sunday's 38-24 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Booker set up Denver's third touchdown of the day early in the second quarter, angling out of the backfield for a 25-yard catch-and-run. That play alone accounted for more yards than Booker had previously accounted for all season. The fourth-year back remains a distant third on the depth chart behind sophomores Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay, but at least -- unlike earlier this season -- the Broncos are rotating him in on offense in recent weeks. The fact that "rotating him in" consisted of just two offensive snaps Sunday, however, should still keep him out of your mind when setting your lineup. Next up is a stingy Chiefs pass defense.

Booker gain four yards on his lone rush of Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota. He was unable to bring in either of his targets.

EDGE Analysis

Booker's five offensive snaps Sunday were three more than he had in the previous nine games of the season combined and he now has a touch in each of the last two weeks. That's what counts as progress for the veteran back, who has been relegated to exclusively special teams duty for much of the season. Still, so long as Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman are healthy, Booker probably won't get much more than a touch or two as a third-down back Sunday against Buffalo's stout defense.

Booker caught a 14-yard pass during Sunday' 24-19 win over the Browns. He also had a 32-yard kick return during the contest.

EDGE Analysis

With the Broncos facing first down and 20 yards to go in the fourth quarter, Booker angled out of the backfield and cut through the defense over the middle. The veteran back has been overshadowed by sophomores Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman in Denver's backfield and generally doesn't even get much action as a returner so long as Diontae Spencer, who exited Sunday's game with a knee injury, is in the fold. Don't expect Sunday's catch to be a jumping-off point. Booker logged just one offensive snap against Cleveland. Even if he does get a little more involved in the offense, Minnesota's sixth-ranked defense awaits after the bye.
