Kelly suffered a ruptured patella tendon during the Raiders' 24-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Kelly was carted off the field and into the locker room after sustaining the injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Garafolo relays that there is some good news in that Kelly did not suffer any ligament damage, which opens the door for the third-year cornerback to return at some point during the 2026 campaign. Kelly will end the 2025 regular season with 40 tackles (31 solo), six pass defenses (three interceptions) and one fumble recovery across 13 games. With Kelly done for the year, rookie third-rounder Darien Porter is poised for a larger role on the outside corner.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Active for Week 14
Rotowire
Chinn (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Chinn popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back issue, but he's been cleared to play in Sunday's AFC West tilt after going through pregame warmups. The sixth-year safety has accumulated 45 tackles (19 solo) and one forced fumble in the five games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Cleared to play Week 14
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Denver.
Despite missing practice Thursday and Friday due to a knee injury, Crosby has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He's played every single defensive snap in three of the Raiders' five games since the Week 8 bye, but if his snap count is limited to reduce the risk of aggravating his injury, then Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden would be poised for more snaps at defensive end.

Adams produced a FP-DNP-LP practice log during Week 14 prep, but he's been cleared to play in Sunday's game after going through pregame warmups. He has logged 12 tackles (seven solo) in the five games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: In line to play Sunday
Rotowire
Crosby, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Denver due to a knee injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Crosby has been dealing with a knee issue for much of the season, but he's yet to miss a game. However, his status seemed to be in more peril than usual this week after he logged a DNP both Thursday and Friday. Nonetheless, it sounds like Crosby is going to give it a go against the Broncos despite the 2-10 Raiders having already been eliminated from playoff contention. Crosby has 8.0 sacks on the campaign and will be looking to reach the fourth double-digit sack season of his seven-year NFL career.

Raiders' Jamal Adams: Questionable to face Broncos
Rotowire
Adams (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
This week was the first time Adams has been on the injury report this season. After logging a full session Wednesday, he didn't practice Thursday before returning to a limited session Friday. That seemingly gives him a decent chance to play Sunday against Denver, though his status is still unclear.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Pops up on injury report
Rotowire
Chinn (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Chinn wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but he was unable to practice at all Friday due to a back issue. It's unclear how serious the injury may be, and his status likely won't be known until shortly before the game kicks off at 4:05 pm ET on Sunday.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Crosby wasn't able to practice Thursday or Friday after turning in a limited session Wednesday, but the Raiders are still giving him a chance to suit up. His chances of playing appear slim, but Crosby hasn't been sidelined since Week 4 of the 2024 campaign.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Crosby was unable to practice after he opened the week as a limited participant at Wednesday's session due to his ongoing knee issue. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to practice Friday before the team takes on Denver in Week 14.

Raiders' Jamal Adams: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Adams went from being a full participant Wednesday to not practicing at all a day later with an apparent knee injury. It's certainly not a positive turn of events for the 30-year-old, and he'll have one more chance to practice Friday before the team takes on the Broncos in Week 14.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Dealing with knee injury
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Crosby dealt with a knee injury during last week's practices, but he looked just fine on the field in Week 13 versus the Chargers, playing every defensive snap and posting nine tackles (six solo) and 2.0 sacks. It's worth monitoring his status, but as long as he maintains limited participation, he has a good chance to play this week versus the Broncos.

Jamin Davis: Waived by Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders waived Davis on Tuesday.
The move corresponds with the Raiders signing cornerback Greedy Vance to the 53-man roster. Davis was signed to Las Vegas' active roster Nov. 11 and logged three tackles (one solo) in Week 11 against the Cowboys, but he was a healthy inactive in Weeks 12 and 13. Assuming he clears waivers, Davis will look to catch on with a team seeking depth at linebacker.

Raiders' Devin White: Double-digit stops vs. Bolts
Rotowire
White posted 11 tackles (five solo) during the Raiders' 31-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
White posted double-digit tackles for the third time in five games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye, and he finished second on the team in stops behind Jeremy Chinn (17). White has played every single defensive snap through 12 regular-season games, and his 114 total tackles is fifth most in the NFL.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Sacks Herbert twice in Week 13 loss
Rotowire
Crosby posted nine tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks and four total tackles for a loss, during the Raiders' 31-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Sunday was Crosby's second multi-sack game of the season, as the veteran pass rusher got to Justin Herbert for six- and two-yard sacks in the second and third quarter, respectively. Crosby's 8.0 sacks through 12 regular-season games surpasses his total from 2024, and he is on pace to reach double-digit sacks for the fourth time in his seven-year NFL career.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Career-high 17 stops in Week 13
Rotowire
Chinn registered 17 tackles (eight solo) during the Raiders' 31-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
It was another productive performance for Chinn, who finished Sunday's game with a career-high 17 tackles while playing every single defensive snap for the 12th time this season. The 2020 second-rounder has accumulated 93 tackles (52 solo), two pass defenses and two forced fumbles through 12 regular-season games, and Chinn is on track to surpass the career-best tackle total (117) he set in both 2020 and 2024 with the Panthers and Commanders, respectively.

Raiders' Darnay Holmes: Not playing Week 13
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Holmes missed Friday's practice due to an illness, which appears to be severe enough for the 2020 fourth-rounder to not play Sunday. Greedy Vance and Jamal Adams are candidates for more defensive snaps in the secondary in Holmes' absence.

Raiders' Darnay Holmes: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Holmes (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Holmes was unable to practice Friday with what appears to be a newly acquired illness. The slot cornerback's ability to play Sunday will hinge on his immune system working quickly. If the 27-year-old is unable to suit up, snaps at slot cornerback will likely pass to Darien Porter, with Jamal Adams also having a chance at the role.

Raiders' Adam Butler: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Butler (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Butler was unable to practice Thursday due to an illness, but he appears to have fought it off enough to be a limited participant Friday. If the starting defensive tackle cannot suit up for Sunday's game, Thomas Booker and JJ Pegues will likely see an increase in rotational defensive-line snaps.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Crosby upgraded to a full participant Thursday after being limited in Wednesday's session. The starting defensive end has been nursing a persistent knee injury throughout the season but hasn't missed any time. Barring any setbacks, Crosby's full participation status means he is likely good to go for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
