Deablo (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Deablo was unable to suit up for the Raiders' last two contests due to an oblique injury, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he could miss even more time. The fourth-year linebacker out of Virginia Tech will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing Sunday. If Deablo misses his third consecutive game in Week 5, expect Amari Burney to see additional reps with Las Vegas' first-team defense.

Rotowire
Deablo (oblique/concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Deablo appears to have moved past his concussion, but he's still dealing with an oblique issue that forced him to miss Wednesday's practice.

Raiders' Divine Deablo: Won't play vs. Carolina
Rotowire
Deablo (oblique/concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Deablo was a DNP in all three practices this week, and he'll have to wait one more week to suit up as he works his way through the league's concussion protocols and an oblique injury. Amari Burney, Tommy Eichenberg and Amari Gainer are all candidates to step into Deablo's starting linebacker spot, though none of those three have logged a single defensive snap over the first two games of the regular season.

Raiders' Divine Deablo: Logs another DNP
Rotowire
Deablo (oblique/concussion) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Deablo was forced out of the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Ravens due to an oblique injury. He appears to also be working through the league's concussion protocols, and the fact that he's opened the week with back-to-back DNP's doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up against the Panthers in Week 3. If Deablo is unable to play Sunday, then Amari Burney, Tommy Eichenberg and Amari Gainer would be candidates to fill in at linebacker alongside starters Robert Spillane and Luke Masterson.

Raiders' Divine Deablo: Exits game Saturday
Rotowire
Deablo (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Chicago.
Deablo logged four tackles before suffering an apparent ankle injury at some point during the first half. The 25-year-old logged the Raiders' second-most tackles (48) through the first six games of the season, so his absence will leave Las Vegas with a big hole to fill. Expect Kana'i Mauga and Luke Masterson to step into bigger roles at linebacker for the time being.

Deablo followed up a good Week 1 performance with an even better showing in Week 2, even getting to Josh Allen for the first sack of his career. He's well on track to get to 100 tackles for the first time in as many seasons, meaning he profiles as a fine IDP option when healthy.

Raiders' Divine Deablo: Vying for starting role
Rotowire
Vic Tafur of The Athletic projects that Deablo (forearm) is in line for a starting role at outside linebacker ahead of the 2023 season.
Deablo played nearly every defensive snap during the first seven games of last season for the Raiders. But, the 25-year-old linebacker sustained a forearm injury Week 9 and wound spending the remainder of the 2022 campaign on IR. Deablo still managed to accumulate a career-high 74 tackles while he was healthy last year, and, now that it appears he's had enough time to recover this offseason, the 6-foot-3 linebacker figures to be a primary contributor on the second level of Las Vegas' defense in 2023.

Raiders' Divine Deablo: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Deablo (forearm) was placed on the Raiders' injured reserve Monday.

Now, the second-year linebacker will be sidelined until at least Las Vegas' Week 14 contest against the Rams. Deablo racked up 73 tackles and one pass defended while playing nearly every defensive snap over the first eight weeks of the season, and his absence should leave Luke Masterson to take on a bigger role alongside Blake Martinez and Denzel Perryman.
