Aaron Glenn essentially ruled out three defensive starters for Week 8, and the New York Jets are going to need these three players to step up.
With the Raiders sliding from a 3‑0 start to a four‑game losing streak, trade talk intensifies around five-time Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. Reported by Jason La Canfora, teams are reportedly willing to part with two future first‑round picks for the 29‑year‑old pass rusher. The most likely suitors include the Dallas Cowboys, still thin on sacks; the Jacksonville Jaguars, a 4‑2 dark‑horse with extra Day‑3 picks; the Detroit Lions, seeking to pair Crosby with Aidan Hutchinson; the New York Giants, who sit atop the NFC East with 21 sacks; and the Buffalo Bills, who need defensive help after a 5‑1 start. Each franchise weighs price versus need as Las Vegas decides whether to move its star edge‑rusher.
The Las Vegas Raiders host the New York Jets on Oct. 30, marking guard Dylan Parham’s first return to Las Vegas after leaving as a free agent. Parham was the Raiders’ 2022 third‑round pick and part of a broader strategy that has yielded eight offensive‑line selections in the first four rounds since 2020, including John Simpson, Alex Leatherwood, Jackson Powers‑Johnson, D.J. Glaze, Caleb Rogers, Charles Grant and Trey Zuhn. Yet only Glaze and Rogers are starters now, with many of those picks either on the bench or off the roster. The article argues that constant front‑office turnover has stalled development, and highlights GM John Spytek’s hope that the remaining young linemen will mature into reliable starters, freeing future draft capital for other positions.
Jack Bech is close to returning to the Las Vegas Raiders' lineup, and he will be welcomed back with wide open arms.
The Las Vegas Raiders host the 2‑5 New York Jets in Week 8, with kickoff at 10 a.m. PT. Silver And Black Pride highlights five keys for a Raiders win: tighten up a run defense that allowed 199 yards versus the Rams, finally establish a credible rushing attack (only 17 carries last game), improve red‑zone efficiency on both sides (3‑of‑10 conversions and 8‑of‑10 opponent scores), outperform a weaker opponent despite a 0‑4 record against stronger teams, and exploit head coach Aaron Glenn’s puzzling 106‑7 deficit in the final two minutes of first halves since 2025.

The Las Vegas Raiders need to rebound against the New York Jets in Week 8. Winning these three consequential matchups could decide the contest.
The Las Vegas Raiders aim to snap a four-game skid as they travel to New York to face the 2‑5 Jets. Wide receiver Tre Tucker has emerged as a key playmaker, scoring three touchdowns in his last two games and climbing to 15th overall in NFL receiving yards and third in the AFC. Offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko highlighted Tucker’s expanding role, emphasizing his versatility amid defenses targeting Brock Bowers. Tucker’s continued production could earn him a future contract extension. The article also notes the latest injury report, a new Silver and Black Show episode with Maxx Crosby and Scott Hansen, and Jamari Thrash’s release.
Running back Josh Jacobs returns to the Raiders in Week 7 after missing the season’s first six games due to a May domestic‑violence arrest and a no‑contest plea. In Thursday Night Football he scores a touchdown against Detroit, but his brief handcuff‑style celebration ignites criticism for seeming to mock the incident. Jacobs claims the routine, planned with teammate Savion Williams, was inspired by a gospel song and was only a second long, not captured fully on broadcast. Despite the controversy, Jacobs has posted 75 rushing yards, 68 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his two games back, keeping him vital to the Raiders’ offense.
Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, Vikings Territory outlines five specific trade targets that could fill key roster gaps. The list includes left guard Ben Bredeson (a $7.5 M veteran from a 2‑5 Buccaneers), running back Tony Pollard (Titans, final‑year contract, versatile and cheap), quarterback Kirk Cousins (Raiders, $1.3 M cap hit, experienced with Jefferson), safety Camryn Bynum (Colts, familiar with Vikings schemes), and veteran running back Alvin Kamara (Saints, dual‑threat rushing and receiving). Each player is highlighted for positional need, affordability and the likelihood of their current teams being willing to move them.
A bigboard for the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the trade deadline, including both targets and trade candidates for GM John Spytek.
The Jets (2‑5) face the Raiders (3‑4) on Sunday, and both clubs aim to snap losing streaks. New York’s offense ranks 6th‑worst, averaging just 19.6 points while allowing 21.4, whereas Vegas averages 26.1 points and gives up 28.1. Writer highlights how star receiver Garrett Wilson is under‑targeted compared with rivals like Tre Tucker, and notes the Jets’ chronic first‑half scoring woes and a meager 45% red‑zone touchdown rate—the league’s second‑worst. With the Raiders’ porous secondary and weak first‑half defense, Vegas could expose New York’s coaching and execution problems.
The New York Jets receive mixed news ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. Backup running back Braelon Allen, who stepped up while Breece Hall was sidelined, is upgraded to full practice after an ankle issue, keeping his recent 105.3 yards per game average and a 104‑yard effort in the 28‑25 loss to Miami. Hall remains limited with a quad strain that has kept him out since Week 3. Jet injuries also mount with left guard Dylan Parham and several defenders listed as limited or out. The Jets (2‑5) aim to bounce back against the Raiders (3‑4) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
The New York Jets' fate hangs on their upcoming clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, as analysts question whether head coach Aaron Glenn still commands the locker room after a humbling 28‑17 loss to the winless Miami Dolphins on September 7, 2025. ESPN’s Rich Cimini noted an unsettling vibe among players, suggesting that a second blow could signal Glenn's loss of control. With ten games left, the Jets must rally to silence tanking rumors and prove Glenn’s longevity. The article previews the Jets‑Raiders matchup, highlighting the stakes for both the team’s morale and Glenn’s tenure.
New York Jets star receiver Garrett Wilson is primed to start in fantasy football lineups given his matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders’ star tight end Brock Bowers gets the green light to practice and is set to suit up against the New York Jets on Sunday, easing worries for fantasy owners. The 2024 All‑Pro, who’s posted 34 catches for 455 yards and three TDs despite missing the first two weeks with a meniscus and calf issue, returns to full participation per ESPN. With the Jets allowing just 187.7 passing yards per game, Bowers could be a key weapon for the 3‑4 Raiders as they try to snap out of their slump.
Getting after New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will be no easy task for the Las Vegas Raiders' defensive front, as they face a tough offensive line.
In a Week 8 episode of “The Edge,” linebacker Micah Parsons downplays the Kansas City Chiefs’ hype, saying only one roster flaw keeps them from true intimidation. He draws a distinction between rookie receiver Xavier Worthy and former Chief Tyreek Hill, emphasizing route‑changing ability over pure speed. Parsons also picks the Cincinnati Bengals as a sleeper AFC contender and notes his ongoing rehab after missing several games. The piece rounds out mid‑season NFL updates, highlighting the Vikings’ 6‑0 run, the Rams’ injury woes, and the Raiders’ poor defense despite Kirk Cousins’ 16 TD passes.
Analyst Adam Schein lambasts the Las Vegas Raiders for keeping veteran Kirk Cousins as starter despite four straight losses, including a Week 7 defeat to the Rams. Schein argues that Heisman‑winning rookie Fernando Mendoza, who led Indiana to a national title, deserved the opening job and should see action after the bye against the Chargers. Coach Klint Kubiak remains loyal to Cousins, but the Raiders’ offense continues to sputter as they prepare to face the New York Jets. The quarterback debate could shape the franchise’s direction heading into the season’s second half.
Rams defensive tackle Braden Fiske is thriving despite Aaron Donald’s return, posting a 14.9% pressure rate over his last four games—ranking sixth among interior linemen and 16th overall at 11.9% for the season. He logged three pressures against the Raiders (9.4% rate), three against the Cardinals (17.6%), and six versus the Eagles (23.1%). Though he’s yet to convert pressures into sacks, his versatility on both DT and DE spots and a 14.8% blitz pressure rate suggest he could become a long‑term cornerstone alongside Donald, filling the void left by John Franklin‑Myers.
The Las Vegas Raiders face fresh setbacks as backup right guard Jackson Powers‑Johnson sits out Thursday’s practice with a back injury after a clean workout on Wednesday. His absence opens the door for rookie Trey Zuhn to potentially replace starter Caleb Rogers. Defensive end Patrick Johnson also misses practice with a stinger from the Week 7 loss. Meanwhile, tight end Brock Bowers, DE Kwity Paye and LB Quay Walker return to full participation. The update also notes Jets rookie pass‑rusher David Bailey (groin) and RB Breece Hall (quad) missing practice.
Former NFL scout Bryan Broaddus tells 105.3 The Fan that the Dallas Cowboys will trade for Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, calling the move the “key” to reviving a pass rush that has produced just 10 sacks in seven games. Crosby, a five‑time Pro Bowler with 71.5 career sacks, is currently a 2‑sack, $106.5 million player for Las Vegas after a failed trade to Baltimore. The Cowboys, who recently added Rashan Gary and cornerback Joey Porter Jr., could look to seal the deal ahead of their Nov. 8 matchup with the Colts, though owner Jerry Jones says a second trade is unlikely unless the right opportunity arises.
The Las Vegas Raiders have slid to 3-4 after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, exposing a severe trench battle failure. Over four straight defeats the Raiders have allowed 656 rushing yards while gaining just 223 on the ground, ranking third‑worst in the league with only 523 total rushing yards and a 3.0‑yard per carry average. Conversely, Kirk Cousins’ aerial attack ranks second in yardage (1,883) and leads the NFL with 16 passing TDs, highlighting a stark offensive imbalance. Head coach Klint Kubuak cites poor run defense and a stagnant rush as core issues, while the defense now sits second‑worst, yielding 197 points. The article argues that coaching adjustments, roster upgrades, and a revived ground game are essential before the November 10 trade deadline.
The New England Patriots tried to claim former Raiders defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers, but their 7-2 record gave them lower priority than six other teams. The Titans, Dolphins, Texans, Colts, Jets and Titans (who ultimately won the claim) all submitted bids, and the 26‑year‑old was awarded to Tennessee on Wednesday. Laulu, a 2024 seventh‑round pick who logged 39 games and 5.5 sacks for Las Vegas, fell out of the Raiders’ rotation under new coach Klint Kubiak. New England’s interior line, currently featuring Milton Williams and Christian Barmore, remains unchanged as the Patriots head to Miami for a Nov. 1 game.
