Raiders' Treydan Stukes: Manages full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Stukes (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Stukes sat out Sunday's game at New Orleans because of a concussion he suffered back in Week 2 against the Chargers, but his outlook for Week 4 is looking more positive. He presumably still needs to be cleared for game action by an independent neurologist before he can exit concussion protocol and be eligible to suit up Sunday versus the Chiefs.
Stukes suffered a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.
Stukes was officially diagnosed with the injury after he was removed from the contest for the second time for evaluation, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. In Stukes' absence, Isaiah Pola-Mao will stand to operate as the team's primary free safety versus Los Angeles.

Stukes is listed as the Raiders' starting free safety heading into Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
The rookie second-rounder is slated to start alongside fellow safety Jeremy Chinn in the secondary, with Isaiah Pola-Mao, Dalton Johnson and Tristin McCollum providing depth at the position. Stukes put together a strong training camp and finished the preseason with 10 tackles (five solo) across three games. He'll be part of a defensive unit that was middle-of-the-pack in passing yards allowed per game (201.0) during the 2025 regular season.
