News

  • Questionable to return

    Kwiatkoski (foot) is questionable to return Sunday against the Broncos, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski picked up the injury in the second half, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return. His absence would deplete the team's secondary, though, and Kwiatkoski's absence would mean even more snaps for Denzel Perryman.

  • Should play in Week 3

    Kwiatkoski (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski was a limited participant in both Wednesday and Thursday practices before logging a full session Friday, and as a result, he wasn't included in the final injury report prior to Sunday's matchup against Miami. His prospects of taking the field appear strong after he didn't play in Week 2 against the Steelers.

  • Out Week 2

    Kwiatkoski (concussion) will not play in the Raiders' Week 2 matchup with the Steelers, Rachel Gossen of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski will need to work his way out of the league's concussion protocols in order to get the green light to return. His absence leaves Divine Deablo as the lone depth available at linebacker for Las Vegas.

  • Working as backup

    Kwiatkoski has mostly handled backup reps throughout the early days of training camp, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski started in all 12 of his appearances for Las Vegas last season, but it appears that the team views him as a reserve option going forward. Though the sixth-year linebacker is coming off the best season of his career, having notched 81 total tackles, he won't be worth fantasy consideration if his snap share diminishes.

  • Restructures deal

    Kwiatkoski (undisclosed) and the Raiders have come to terms on a restructured contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The details regarding Kwiatkoski's new contract are not completely clear at this point. He joined the Raiders in 2020 after spending his first four seasons in Chicago and ultimately recorded 77 tackles (49 solo), one sack and one interception across 12 games.

  • Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Kwiatkoski was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski was coming off one of his better performances of the season, notching 10 tackles to pace Las Vegas in last week's loss to the Chargers. It's uncertain whether the linebacker has tested positive for COVID or has been found to be a close contact with someone who has, but he'll miss Saturday's clash with Miami in either case. He should be considered questionable to return for the regular-season finale against Denver as well.

  • Notches double-digit tackles

    Kwiatkoski had 10 tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski enjoyed his second double-digit tackle performance of the year Thursday and led Las Vegas' defense in stops. Since the Raiders' Week 6 bye, Kwiatkoski hasn't dipped below five tackles in a single game.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Kwiatkoski finished with 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 31-26 victory over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski ended the contest with a team-leading 13 tackles, while Lamarcus Joyner (12 tackles) and Johnathan Abram (10 tackles) also finished in double figures. Kwiatkoski has registered 36 total tackles on the season to go along with two passes defended and a forced fumble in six contests.

  • Active Sunday

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old missed the past two games with the pectoral injury, but he'll be back on the field for Week 4. Kwiatkoski had six tackles in 26 snaps before exiting the season opener and figures to play a significant role in the middle of the Las Vegas defense.

  • Managing injury

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) was a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski suffered the pectoral injury during the season opener, and he's failed to suit up in game action since. The fact that he's at least suiting up in some fashion for practice is a positive sign, however, look for more snaps out of Raekwon McMillan if Kwiatkoski is forced to miss more time.

  • Sitting out Week 3

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski exited early in the season opener and hasn't practiced since. This will be the second straight game he misses. In Week 2, neither Raekwon McMillan nor Kyle Wilber played much in Kwiatkoski's place, so there's no one-for-one replacement in IDP settings.

  • Won't play Monday

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, but he'll miss Week 2 and possibly additional games. A rotation of Kyle Wilber and Raekwon McMillan will likely handle the reps at middle linebacker Monday.

  • Considered doubtful for MNF

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) is doubtful for Monday's game versus the Saints, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Although an MRI revealed that Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, the linebacker is still expected to miss some time. He didn't practice this week, and he'll likely turn his focus to getting healthy for Week 3 versus the Patriots following the prime-time game. Raekwon McMillan is expected to start at middle linebacker in Kwiatkoski's place.

  • MRI yields positive news

    An MRI confirmed that Kwiatkoski avoided a torn pectoral muscle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: While Kwiatkoski avoided a potentially season-ending injury, he could still miss some time. The team doesn't have a definitive timeline for their starting middle linebacker at this time. If he's unable to play in Week 2 versus the Saints, Raekwon McMillan or Kyle Wilber will likely take over the starting gig.

  • Optimistic about return

    Kwiatkoski underwent testing on his pectoral injury Sunday, and it's not expected to be a long-term issue, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski suffered this injury during Sunday's season opener versus the Panthers and was quickly ruled out of the game, so it sounded like a potentially serious injury. He'll undergo an MRI that will provide an official diagnosis, but it appears he won't face a lengthy recovery. If he misses any time, though, Raekwon McMillan is expected to be the starting middle linebacker.

  • Ruled out after injury

    Kwiatkoski (pectoral) will not return to the team's Week 1 contest against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski was making his debut for the team and logged six tackles prior to his exit. The Raiders will hope he is able to return for a Week 2 matchup against the Saints.

  • Joining Las Vegas

    Kwiatkoski is signing with the Raiders, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2016 fourth-round pick bounced in and out of the starting lineup throughout his time with the Bears, finishing things out in 2019 with career highs for starts (eight), tackles (76) and sacks (three). Kwiatkoski should be locked in as a starter now that he's joining a Raiders defense that seems to be perpetually in need of linebacker help. He'll have a shot at a three-down role and IDP value.

  • Finishes career year

    Kwiatkoski notched eight tackles in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he ended the season with 76 tackles, three sacks and an interception.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski was a strong IDP option after taking over the starting job at linebacker when Danny Trevathan was lost for the season in November. Largely due to opportunity, he easily posted the best season of his career, establishing career-highs in tackles and sacks, and his success could help him land a multiyear contract as he enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. His fantasy value will be determined upon his landing spot.

  • Double-digit tackles

    Kwiatkoski tallied 11 tackles in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Danny Trevathan on injured reserve, Kwiatkoski continued to fill in admirably by posting at least eight tackles for the third time in four games. He'll be a high-floor IDP option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

    Published: Sun, Dec 22 at 9:48pm by Rotowire.com

  • Notches third sack of season

    Kwiatkoski recorded a sack and five tackles in the Bears 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski continues to be a solid IDP option while Danny Trevathan misses time, as he's averaged seven tackles over the last four weeks, and if Trevathan misses the Week 16 home contest against the Chiefs, Kwiatkoski will be a solid lineup option for fantasy managers.

  • Highly productive in victory

    Kwiatkoski notched 10 tackles in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Kwiatkoski's been filling in for Danny Trevathan, and he's seen a full-time snap share in four of the last five games. During that time, he's posted at least eight tackles on three occasions, making him a strong IDP option as long as Trevathan remains sidelined.

  • Solid performance

    Kwiatkoski recorded eight tackles in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: With Danny Trevathan missing his third straight game, Kwiatkoski filled in nicely and finished second on the team in tackles. However, he's been inconsistent with his starting opportunities, making him a risky IDP option as long as Trevathan continues to miss time.

    Published: Thu, Nov 28 at 8:37pm by Rotowire.com

  • Massive day

    Kwiatkoski posted a sack, an interception and 10 tackles in Chicago's 20-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Once Danny Trevathan was forced from the game with his arm in a sling, Kwiatkoski took over and posted one of the best games of his career. If Trevathan is forced to miss time, Kwiatkoski could easily slot in as a strong IDP option based on his ability to pile up tackles.
