The Raiders traded Olawale and a sixth-round draft pick to Dallas for a fifth-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale has served as Oakland's fullback since 2013, typically playing more snaps on special teams than offense. The Cowboys and Raiders are swapping fullbacks, as Keith Smith recently left Dallas to sign with Oakland. Olawale isn't much of a lead blocker, but he has the necessary speed and pass-blocking skill to fill in as a passing-down back in a pinch. He'll likely continue to see most of his snaps on special teams.

Olawale (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale was limited on Thursday and Friday, but he'll be able to use his run-blocking abilities Sunday. The fullback is rarely given the ball, though, with no more than five touches in a game this season.

Olawale (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale received the designation after he was limited in practices Thursday and Friday following a no show Wednesday. The Raiders typically don't make extensive use of their fullbacks -- Olawale has logged no more than 17 offensive snaps in any of his eight games -- so don't expect him to retain a large role if he's able to suit up Sunday.

Olawale (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
In his five appearances this season, Olawale has combined for 43 offensive snaps, which has translated to five carries for 18 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on three targets) for 13 yards. Expect a similar sparse workload Week 11.

Olawale (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale is nursing a hamstring he tweaked last week against the Bills. It isn't clear who might absorb lead-blocking duties in his absence.

Olawale (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale was only able to take part in practice on a limited basis this week after injuring his hamstring in the Raiders' Week 8 loss to the Bills. Even if Olawale is able to shake off the issue and play Sunday, he won't see many touches out of the backfield, as Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio primarily deploys the fullback as a blocker.

Olawale hurt his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Bills and is questionable to return, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale rarely gets more than a few touches a game, but he's key in certain pass-blocking scenarios. The Raiders don't carry another fullback on their roster, so it'll be interesting to see how their offense changes if he can't play in Week 9 against the Dolphins.

Olawale (concussion) is active for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale was limited in practice this week and was listed as questionable, but apparently cleared the league's concussion protocol and is good to play. The 28-year-old has three carries for 15 yards in three games this season and doesn't see enough opportunities to warrant fantasy consideration.

Olawale (concussion) is questionable to play Thursday against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale was able to practice in a limited fashion all week and seems to have a fair chance of suiting up. If not, the Raiders won't have a true fullback at their disposal for the second time in as many games.

Olawale (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Olawale apparently suffered the concussion in Week 5's loss to the Ravens and did not practice this week. The 28-year-old must clear the league's concussion protocol before he is able to return to the field.
