Raiders Activate Dont'e Thornton Jr. Off Injured Reserve and Waive Jonah Laulu
The rookie wide receiver returned after missing training camp with a hamstring injury and could see early opportunities in a thin receiver room.
- On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Raiders activated wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. from Injured Reserve, addressing a critical deadline to either restore him to the active roster or release him.
- Thornton missed significant training camp time due to a hamstring injury, prompting the Raiders to place him on Injured Reserve before the season to allow additional recovery.
- Outside of Tre Tucker, who recorded 29 catches for 474 yards, the Raiders have relied heavily on tight ends and running back Ashton Jeanty as pass-catchers.
- To make roster space, the Raiders waived defensive tackle Jonah Laulu, who had been inactive for the team's recent 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
- Head coach Klint Kubiak recently praised Thornton's effort but noted he remains in recovery. Jack Bech's 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve opened Monday, offering further depth soon.
