Bobo injured his shoulder in the team’s Week 11 game and was listed as a non-participant on the team’s estimated practice report Monday. The team has a quick turnaround with a game on Thanksgiving, reducing the chances Bobo will be able to play in Week 12.

Dobbins, who sustained a knee sprain last week against the Ravens, could miss more than this Sunday’s game against Atlanta, according to Rapoport. Gus Edwards will likely operate as the Chargers’ lead back with Dobbins sidelined, and rookie Kimani Vidal could take on pass game work. Hassan Haskins, meanwhile, will threaten Edwards’ goal line role. Edwards is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent RB2 for Week 13.

“I think our usage with him these last couple weeks is really what we’re kind of trying to trend towards,” Rizzi said Tuesday. “A little bit of everything, not too much of anything. He’s obviously a huge part of what we do… The more he’s on the field, the more effective we’ve been, in all the times I’ve been here.” Coming off a 138 yard, three-touchdown performance against the Browns in Week 11, Hill — who has 31 touches over his past three games — seems locked in for double digit touches this week against a soft Rams defense. Against the Browns, Hill ran a route on 18 of the team’s 28 drop backs. He should be considered a top-10 fantasy option for now.

Omenihu tore his ACL in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February and began the season on the PUP list. His full practice participation to begin the week suggests Omenihu will be ready to return for the Chiefs’ Black Friday game against the Raiders. The 27-year-old tallied seven sacks last season, his first with the Chiefs. Initially drafted by the Texans, he has 18.5 career sacks through five seasons. Omenihu is trending to make his season debut in Week 13.

Also out was CB Jakorian Bennett (shoulder). The Raiders secondary struggled without either cornerback in Week 12 against the Broncos and both are trending out again. Hobbs and/or Bennett will need to practice later in the week in order to play Friday, but for now, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are slated for an extremely favorable matchup in Week 13.

Tucker caught seven passes for 82 yards in the Raiders’ Week 12 loss to the Broncos. He was not noted to leave the game with an injury, so this limited hip listing can be assumed as load management on a short week. Practice reports later in the week will tell if that is indeed the case, but for now expect Tucker to still be on track to play Friday against the Chiefs.

Mattison was listed as a limited participant in the Raiders’ Tuesday walk-through after missing Week 12 due to an ankle injury. With Zamir White (quad) missing practice, Mattison is slated to be the lead back if he is good to go for Friday against the Chiefs. Regardless, expect another heavy dose of Ameer Abdullah. If Mattison can play, he is a low-end RB3, otherwise Abdullah slates into that range.

White missed Week 12 due to a quad strain and remains out to begin the week. The Raiders play on Friday in a short week against the Chiefs. White starting out with a DNP is a sign he is on track to miss another week and Ameer Abdullah will see increased usage again.

Jones has reportedly “zeroed on a ‘leading’ choice”, according to Anderson. The former Giants quarterback was cut last week after being benched for Tommy DeVito. The Ravens and Vikings were his leading suitors and while Anderson also reports the Raiders are interested, FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported Monday that Jones eliminated the Raiders from signing contention. While a starting job may not be in the cards for Jones, a backup job on a contending team seems to be where he is headed.

Rush was listed as limited for the second straight day while managing a knee issue. It is likely a minor load management listing on a short week for Rush as the Cowboys play Thanksgiving day against the Giants. Trey Lance is currently the backup, though Rush should play barring setbacks. He is likely going to be missing a key blocker in OG Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) who was listed as DNP for the second straight day.

Ferguson was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day due to a concussion he suffered in Week 11. He is considered a long shot to play Thanksgiving against the Giants. Luke Schoonmaker will be the primary tight end in Ferguson’s absence, with Week 14 the earliest Ferguson is likely to return.
