Spillane (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane was a limited participant in all three practices leading up to Week 12. He's played every single defensive snap in each of the last four games and is coming off a team-high 13 tackles in last week's loss to the Dolphins.

Spillane (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Week 12 contest versus the Chiefs, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane played every defensive snap and tallied a team-high 13 tackles in a loss to Miami last Sunday, but he's been hobbled by an ankle injury during Week 12 prep. The linebacker logged a trio of limited practice sessions and enters the weekend with a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's clash with Kansas City. Spillane has rarely missed a defensive down for Las Vegas this season and leads the team with 94 stops and three interceptions, so an absence against the Chiefs would be keenly felt.

Spillane recorded 13 tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane had one of most productive games of the season, as he led the team in tackles. The 27-year-old registered double-digit tackles for the first time since Week 2 versus the Bills and has now compiled 94 tackles (49 solo) through 11 games.

Spillane recorded seven tackles, one sack and one interception in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane continued to lead the defense Sunday, tying for the most tackles and recording a sack late in the second quarter. The linebacker's most notable play was late in the fourth quarter when he intercepted Jets quarterback Zach Wilson after the offense marched down to the Raiders' 20-yard-line. The 27-year-old almost doubles the next linebacker Divine Deablo in team snap count and has proven himself as a legitimate IDP asset with 81 tackles and three interceptions this year.

Spillane (hand) is active Sunday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane didn't miss a defensive snap in Monday's loss to the Lions, so it's not clear when he suffered the injury. However, it's a moot point, as the Western Michigan product feels well enough to take the field in Week 9 and should start at middle linebacker.

Spillane is considered questionable for Sunday's Week 9 clash with the Giants due to a hand injury, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane played 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps this past Monday against Detroit, but he apparently picked up a hand injury as he began Week 9 prep with a DNP. He's since been able to log a pair of limited practices, so he has a chance to suit up versus New York on Sunday. Las Vegas will be without Divine Deablo (ankle) and Luke Masterson (concussion) for that contest, so they'll be perilously thin at linebacker if Spillane is forced to sit out as well. In that scenario, Jaylon Smith -- who signed with the Raiders off New Orleans' practice squad Thursday -- could be thrust into a major role right away.

Spillane recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-12 loss at Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane tallied seven-plus tackles for the sixth time in seven games this season in Week 7, easily maintaining pace for a career year in that category. He has also led Las Vegas' linebackers in snaps in every game in 2023, and he should continue to do so in Week 8 at Detroit.

Spillane recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 21-17 win over New England.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane continues to succeed in his first year as a full-time starter, as he's recorded under seven tackles in a game just once thus far. The Western Michigan product leads Las Vegas in tackles and is tied for the lead in interceptions through the first six games of the season. He's easily having the most productive year of his career, logging 49 tackles, two interceptions and one sack. Expect Spillane to continue making plays for the Raiders' defense as the year goes on.

Spillane recorded nine tackles (two solo) and two interceptions in the Raiders' 17-13 win over the Packers in Week 5.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane's two picks were his first two of the season, and his tackle count was his second highest through five games. It is worth noting he did not miss a snap for the fourth time this year. He is now set to shift his attention to Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

Spillane recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Spillane is up to 28 tackles total through three games. Perhaps even more impressive, he has been on the field for all 202 defensive snaps this season. The linebacker also saw some special teams work against Pittsburgh, as was on the field for seven snaps (24 percent). Next up for him and the Raders is a matchup with the Chargers in Los Angeles.
