McGill (knee/illness) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
McGill was originally considered questionable to play after missing Thursday's practice with a knee injury. Now cleared to play, the fourth-year safety should be ready to assume his typically heavy workload on special teams, but it's not guaranteed he'll see significant playing time on defense.

McGill (foot) isn't listed on the Raiders' injury report heading into Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
The foot injury limited McGill's participation during Wednesday's practice, but he was upgraded to a full participant Thursday and Friday and looks like he'll be an option for the Raiders in Week 5. McGill has appeared in one game this season -- the team's Week 3 loss to the Redskins -- logging all 27 of his snaps on special teams.

McGill (foot) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
McGill made his season debut against the Redskins in Week 3, but he only made one tackle on 27 special teams snaps. Without him, though, the Raiders are seriously skimp at the safety position, and rookie seventh-round pick Shalom Luani is the last remaining backup at the position.

McGill (foot) is questionable to play Sunday against the Broncos, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems McGill might've aggravated a foot injury in his season debut last Sunday considering he was a limited participant in practice this entire week. If he's ultimately ruled out, Shalom Luani would likely serve as the backup to Reggie Nelson.

McGill (foot) is inactive Sunday for the Raiders' Week 2 game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Raiders listed McGill as questionable heading into the weekend, his full participation in practice Thursday and Friday offered hope he might be able to suit up Sunday. Evidently, the safety didn't make as much progress as the Raiders had hoped, so his 2017 debut will have to wait a little longer.

McGill (foot) was a full participant at Friday's practice, but is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
After a limited role Wednesday's, McGill has practiced fully the last two days. Thus, he is likely more on the optimistic side of questionable heading into Week 2. Shalom Luani figures to be in line for more rotational reps in the defensive backfield should McGill ultimately be forced to sit out.

McGill (foot) was a full participant at the Raiders' practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
McGill has been on the road to recovery since undergoing surgery on his foot in early August for a Jones fracture, but appears to be on the cusp of his return. The 28-year-old could very well play Sunday against the Jets, but he could easily be held out of game action for another week, as well.

McGill (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even practicing on a limited basis is fantastic news for McGill, who underwent surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his right foot in early August. The 28-year-old is likely not expected to play Sunday against the Jets, with the timeline for his return still murky and could easily extend through the end of September.

McGill (foot) did not practice Wednesday and is not expected to play Sunday against the Titans, Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jones fracture in McGill's foot will need at least another week to heal. However, it's a good sign that he wasn't placed on injured reserve, but the timeline is unclear and could extend into August.

McGill (foot) suffered a Jones fracture Saturday and will require surgery, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGill may not be out the entire season, but he should miss a signficant amount of time. His absence is a blow to the Raiders' special-teams unit, not to mention their their depth in the secondary.
