Kwiatkoski (undisclosed) and the Raiders have come to terms on a restructured contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The details regarding Kwiatkoski's new contract are not completely clear at this point. He joined the Raiders in 2020 after spending his first four seasons in Chicago and ultimately recorded 77 tackles (49 solo), one sack and one interception across 12 games.

Kwiatkoski was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski was coming off one of his better performances of the season, notching 10 tackles to pace Las Vegas in last week's loss to the Chargers. It's uncertain whether the linebacker has tested positive for COVID or has been found to be a close contact with someone who has, but he'll miss Saturday's clash with Miami in either case. He should be considered questionable to return for the regular-season finale against Denver as well.

Kwiatkoski had 10 tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski enjoyed his second double-digit tackle performance of the year Thursday and led Las Vegas' defense in stops. Since the Raiders' Week 6 bye, Kwiatkoski hasn't dipped below five tackles in a single game.

Kwiatkoski finished with 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 31-26 victory over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski ended the contest with a team-leading 13 tackles, while Lamarcus Joyner (12 tackles) and Johnathan Abram (10 tackles) also finished in double figures. Kwiatkoski has registered 36 total tackles on the season to go along with two passes defended and a forced fumble in six contests.

Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old missed the past two games with the pectoral injury, but he'll be back on the field for Week 4. Kwiatkoski had six tackles in 26 snaps before exiting the season opener and figures to play a significant role in the middle of the Las Vegas defense.

Kwiatkoski (pectoral) was a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski suffered the pectoral injury during the season opener, and he's failed to suit up in game action since. The fact that he's at least suiting up in some fashion for practice is a positive sign, however, look for more snaps out of Raekwon McMillan if Kwiatkoski is forced to miss more time.

Kwiatkoski (pectoral) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski exited early in the season opener and hasn't practiced since. This will be the second straight game he misses. In Week 2, neither Raekwon McMillan nor Kyle Wilber played much in Kwiatkoski's place, so there's no one-for-one replacement in IDP settings.

Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, but he'll miss Week 2 and could miss additional time. A rotation of Kyle Wilber and Raekwon McMillan will likely handle the reps at middle linebacker Monday.

Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is doubtful for Monday's game versus the Saints, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although an MRI revealed that Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, the linebacker is still expected to miss some time. He didn't practice this week, and he'll likely turn his focus to getting healthy for Week 3 versus the Patriots following the prime-time game. Raekwon McMillan is expected to start at middle linebacker in Kwiatkoski's place.

An MRI confirmed that Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Kwiatkoski avoided a potentially season-ending injury, he could still miss some time. The team doesn't have a definitive timeline for their starting middle linebacker at this time. If he's unable to play in Week 2 versus the Saints, Raekwon McMillan or Kyle Wilber will likely take over the starting gig.
