Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Active
With Thornton's 21-day practice window coming to a close this week, the Raiders elected to move him back on to the 53-man roster. A full participant in each of the Raiders' last nine practices, Thornton looks like he'll be ready to play this Sunday against the Jets, but he may not be in store for a meaningful role in the receiver rotation. He struggled to carve out consistent volume in the passing game as a rookie fourth-round pick in 2025, putting together a 10-135-0 receiving line on 30 targets over 15 appearances.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton logged a trio of full practices during Week 7 prep, but head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters Friday that the second-year wide receiver will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. Thornton's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 7, and he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2026 season if the Raiders do not activate him from IR by Wednesday.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton has now been practicing at full speed for two entire weeks, but he's still waiting to be officially activated from the Raiders' injured reserve list. The team has until the end of this week to move him back onto the active roster before he'd have to spend the rest of the campaign on IR by rule.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton has been a full practice participant for two weeks, and he can practice for one more week before the Raiders have to make a decision on activating him from IR or leaving him there for the rest of the year. He'll likely be activated, but it isn't clear there's a role for him in the offense.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton has spent the entirety of the regular season on injured reserve while recovering from a hamstring injury that he suffered in early August. The wide receiver returned to practice last week, logging three full practices, but he ultimately did not play in the team's 45-17 loss to the Patriots in Week 5. Thornton will look to prove his health and be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's matchup with Buffalo.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton was a full participant in all three Week 5 prep practices but will not be activated from IR for Sunday's contest. The wide receiver was designated to return to practice Wednesday, and the Raiders likely deemed the 23-year-old to not be conditioned enough to return to the field the same week.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
The Raiders designated Thornton for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, and it appears he may be close to being officially activated. The fact that free-agent acquisitions Jalen Nailor (concussion) and Cody White (ankle) are tending to injuries could give Las Vegas additional incentive to get Thornton ready for game action sooner than later.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton's injury was previously undisclosed, but Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reported Wednesday that it was a hamstring issue that cost the wideout considerable practice time during training camp and the preseason before he opened the regular season on IR. Though he's made enough progress in his recovery to resume practicing, Thornton may need more than a week to get back up to full speed after missing the Raiders' first four games. Once he's activated from IR, Thornton will be facing an uncertain outlook for playing time. Las Vegas has been relying on Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor (concussion) and Cody White as its primary options at receiver lately while funneling their passing game through tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. — Injured Reserve
Thornton opened the season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury that prevented him from participating in the majority of August practices during training camp. Once he's cleared to return, Thornton will likely operate in a depth role at wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Cody White.
