The Texans activated Emanuel (concussion) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel has missed the last five games while working through the league's five-step concussion protocol. He'll be available for Sunday's game against the Colts. The 29-year-old linebacker will stick to special teams, where he has registered three tackles over two games for the Texans this year.

Emanuel (concussion) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel returned to practice Wednesday, opening the 21-day window to return from IR. He's eligible to play this Sunday against the Colts and likely will stick to a special-teams role if he does.

Emanuel (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old hasn't been able to practice since sustaining the concussion Week 7, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. Emanuel has exclusively played special teams this season, so his absence is unlikely to affect Houston's defense.

Emanuel (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel was unable to practice all week, which makes this outcome less surprising. He will now set his sights on a potential Week 10 return against the Browns if he us ultimately able to clear concussion protocol.

Emanuel (concussion) didn't suit up in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel exited Week 7's contest against the Packers due to a head injury, and appears still in concussion protocol despite recovering over the bye week. Emanuel's absence will deplete the special teams if he's forced to Week 9, as the veteran has seen all of his snaps on special teams this season.

Emanuel is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was plucked from the Raiders' practice squad Oct. 13, with Sunday's matchup against Green Bay representing his second appearance as a Texan. Emanuel's absence does not impact Houston on the defensive side, though it depletes the Texans' depth on special teams after he fielded 62 percent of the snaps in that department last Sunday against Tennessee.

Emanuel signed to the Texans' active roster Tuesday

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was on the Raiders' practice squad, but he'll now provide depth at linebacker for the Texans. Emanuel spent the previous few years with the Chargers and had 30 tackles (21 solo) and one sack in 2019.

The Raiders elevated Emanuel to the 53-man roster via the practice squad Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With Nick Kwiatkoski nursing a pectoral injury and unable to play in Week 3, the Raiders elected for in-house reinforcements. Emanuel has not played in the NFL since 2018, so he'll be in line for a depth role if he suits up in Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The Raiders released Emanuel on Saturday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel linked with the Raiders late August, but he wasn't able to secure a role on the final roster during the latter portion of training camp. The veteran linebacker could garner fair interest as a free agent, though he has been out of the league since 2018.

Emanuel signed with the Raiders on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emanuel retired after the 2018 season when he recorded 30 tackles and a sack over 16 games with the Chargers, but the 29-year-old linebacker opted to return and found a deal with his former team's rival. It's unlikely Emanuel secures a starting job in Las Vegas, but he could be a useful reserve player who contributes on special teams.
