In this brief: 3 sections 2 min read

- Teair Tart — DNP Wednesday, limited Thursday with an ankle issue; availability uncertain.
- Dalvin Tomlinson — limited (hamstring); listed questionable/probable depending on Friday’s report.
- Trey Pipkins III and Elijah Molden — missed multiple practices (DNP) this week.
- Deane Leonard — limited in practice; status to be determined Friday.
- Rashawn Slater — participated fully in 11-on-11 without limitation.
- His return stabilizes left-side protection depth and matters for run/pass blocking plans.
- Coaches will confirm Friday whether he’s cleared for game action.
- If Tart or Tomlinson are limited or inactive, backups will see heavier snaps — rotation and pass-rush pressures could change.
- Missing starters on the line could impact ability to slow Raiders’ balanced attack and protect against Ashton Jeanty.
- Coaches may shift personnel packages or increase snaps for rotational DL (Jamaree Caldwell, Justin Eboigbe, Nick Barrett).
