Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said it’s too early to say whether WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. (undisclosed) will resume practicing next week. 2026-10-02 16:00:03 The lanky speedster was placed on injured reserve late in August. He is not exceptionally talented, but he can contribute meaningfully to an NFL offense. Getting him back would help keep safeties honest. Stay tuned. |

Raiders placed WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. on the reserved/injured list. 2026-08-31 20:00:02 Thornton has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that has prevented the wideout from practicing over the last month. The 23-year-old can return in four weeks, but there’s no timeline as to when the 2025 fourth-round pick will return to the Vegas lineup. |

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Dont’e Thornton is still working his way back from an undisclosed injury. 2026-08-28 14:00:01 We still don’t know what Thornton is dealing with, but the second-year receiver hasn’t practiced since August 7th. Kubiak said earlier this month that he expected Thornton to return sometime during the preseason, but that didn’t come to fruition. Even if he’s able to make it back on the practice field ahead of Week 1, Thornton is unlikely to make any major contributions to the offense at this time. |

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said he expects Dont’e Thornton (undisclosed) to return at some point in the preseason. 2026-08-14 14:00:03 Thornton has missed nearly a whole week of practice, paving the way for Jack Bech and rookie Malik Benson to see more reps. Kubiak said Thornton has “been banged up a little bit” this training camp, but did not go into further detail on his situation. Thornton caught 10 passes for 135 scoreless yards last season after generating plenty of camp hype. He is not on the fantasy radar at this time. |

Raiders WR Dont’e Thornton (undisclosed) missed his fourth straight practice Wednesday. 2026-08-11 23:00:03 Thornton was at practice in street clothes Tuesday, missing his fourth straight. He left a training camp practice early last week and has not received a diagnosis or return timetable. Jack Bech, Jalen Nailor, and Tre Tucker are listed as the Raiders’ starting wide receivers on the team’s first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Thornton is listed as Nailor’s backup but may be losing ground to Malik Benson as he misses time. |
