Masterson (knee) worked out with the Patriots on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson spent the final 13 contests of the 2024 campaign on injured reserve with the Raiders after suffering a knee injury but he now appears to be back to full health. The linebacker recorded 17 total tackles (10 solo) over four games with Las Vegas and he'd offer any interested teams an experienced reserve option in 2025.

Masterson (knee) compiled 17 tackles (10 solo) across four regular-season games with the Raiders in 2024. He spent the team's final 13 contests on IR.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, making it likely that he'll get a chance to stick with Las Vegas as he progresses in his recovery from a knee injury sustained Week 4. If indeed kept in house by the Raiders, Masterson will get a chance to compete for a depth role at linebacker for the 2025 campaign.

The Raiders placed Masterson (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson popped up on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday with a knee injury, and he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. However, the knee injury appears to be severe enough to warrant a stint on injured reserve. The 26-year-old linebacker will be forced to sit for at least the next four games, meaning the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Bengals on Nov. 3. Amari Gainer, Amari Burney and Tommy Eichenberg are candidates to slide into the starting linebacker spot vacated by Masterson.

Masterson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson didn't practice Thursday after logging a limited session Wednesday, so it's no surprise that the Wake Forest product won't suit up Sunday. Expect Amari Gainer to serve as the Raiders' top strongside linebacker while Masterson continues to recover from his knee injury.

Masterson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson appears to have sustained a knee injury in the Raiders' Week 4 win over the Browns, despite playing 54 total snaps (33 defensive snaps and 21 on special teams) and recording six total tackles. His participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 5, as the Raiders take on the Broncos.

Masterson recorded six total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson was once again thrust into a more significant role at linebacker with Divine Deablo (oblique/concussion) unavailable for the second game in a row. Masterson finished second to Robert Spillane on the team in tackles and he has now compiled 17 total tackles (10 solo) over four games in 2024.

Masterson recorded seven total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson stepped into a starting role with Divine Deablo (oblique/concussion) unavailable versus Carolina. Masterson made the most of his opportunity, playing 70 percent of the team's defensive snaps while compiling a season-high seven takedowns. He'll likely operate in a similar role in Week 5 versus the Browns if Deablo remains unavailable.

Masterson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson was able to log a full week of practice after missing Las Vegas' Week 9 win over the Giants with a concussion. The 25-year-old linebacker has appeared in eight games for the Raiders this season, recording 14 total tackles, one forced fumble and one pass deflection.

Masterson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson returned to practice Wednesday after a concussion kept him out of the team's win versus the Giants last week. The 25-year-old is still however in the concussion protocol and will need to clear it in order to be eligible to play Sunday.

Masterson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Giants, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Masterson, who exited the Raiders' Week 8 loss to the Lions with a concussion, was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. The second-year linebacker has appeared in all eight of Las Vegas' games this year, recording 14 total tackles.
