Las Vegas Raiders COVID-19 List Adds a New Name

After returning from a bye week, the Las Vegas Raiders placed rookie cornerback Damon Arnette on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Arnette was already on the team's injured reserve list from undergoing surgery on his right thumb.

Arnette was already expected to miss a handful of games this season, but hopes he can return this season and help the Raiders push for the playoffs.

Assuming he passes all of the COVID-19 protocols, Arnette would be allowed to return to the team's facility. Arnette was not around the team's facility last week due to the Raiders' bye week.

Arnette, who was selected in the first round (19th overall) in this years' NFL Draft out of Ohio State, has been productive this season.

The rookie has 13 tackles, 11 solo, and a pass defended in three games as a starter.

As players returned to practice, defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was out with the team practicing.

The Raiders activated Hurst from the reserve/COVID-19 list, where he was placed on Oct. 6.

Before being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Hurst was the highest-graded Raiders defensive player and sixth-best defensive tackle with an 89.4 grade, according to Pro Football Focus.

Having him back will only reinforce the defensive line, which is coming off a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Raiders will hope no one else tests positive ahead of their Sunday Night Football game, as they host Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
