Decamerion Richardson Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Browns vs Raiders game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 1, 2025
All set for Week 5
Richardson (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Richardson was unavailable for the team's last two games due to a hamstring injury, but he now appear to be healthy ahead of Week 5. The cornerback has operated exclusively as a special-teams option this season, and he'll be back in that role Sunday in Indianapolis.

Not playing in Week 4
Richardson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The veteran cornerback had managed to work back to a full practice Friday after limited sessions the first two days of Week 4 prep, making his inactive status for a second straight game somewhat surprising. The second-year cornerback's next opportunity to take the field comes in a Week 5 matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

Full practice Friday
Richardson (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday versus Chicago, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Richardson was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. The cornerback was forced to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, and if he can't go in Week 4 against the Bears, it wouldn't carry much an impact on the Raiders' defense.
Sep 21, 2025
Not playing Week 3
Richardson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Richardson logged a pair of limited practice sessions to end the week and was deemed questionable entering Sunday. He ultimately won't be able to suit up for the first time this season. Richardson played exclusively on special teams during Las Vegas' first two games, so that's where his absence will be most felt while he remains out.

Productive rookie campaign
Richardson finished the 2024 season with 46 total tackles (27 solo) and three pass breakups across 12 games.
ANALYSIS
Richardson missed the first five games of the 2024 season with a hamstring injury, but once he returned, he provided the Raiders with a valuable addition to the secondary. The rookie finished with the third-highest amount of tackles ar cornerback on the team, finishing behind Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs. Richardson could step into a more prominent role in 2025 with Hobbs heading into the offseason as a free agent.
Dec 30, 2024
Six tackles against New Orleans
Richardson tallied six tackles (three solo) during the Raiders' 25-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick played every single defensive snap Sunday, which he has done in five of the Raiders' seven games since the Week 10 bye. Over that span, Richardson has accumulated 34 tackles (21 solo) and two pass defenses. Richardson will look to end his rookie campaign on a strong note against Justin Herbert and the Chargers next Sunday.
Nov 25, 2024
Leads team in tackles in loss
Richardson finished with eight tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The rookie, who missed the first five games of the season with a hamstring injury, also played on every defensive snap for the first time this season. Richardson played on 97 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 11 after seeing 38 combined defensive snaps over the previous four games. The fourth-round pick's status for next week will likely depend on the availability of Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle).

Ready to rock
Richardson (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Richardson missed the Raiders' first five games this season due to a hamstring injury sustained at the beginning of September. However, the rookie out of Mississippi State upgraded from limited work Thursday to a full practice Friday, suggesting he's moved past his hamstring issue. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in the Raiders' secondary in his NFL debut.

Missing Week 5

Won't play vs. Panthers
Richardson (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus Carolina.

Not likely to play Week 3
Richardson (hamstring) did not practice Friday and he is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Sep 13, 2024
Will miss second straight game
Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 contest versus Baltimore, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Richardson is dealing with a hamstring issue that also kept him out of a Week 1 loss to the Chargers. The cornerback didn't practice in any capacity this week, so he could be at risk of being sidelined for additional contests as well. Richardson has yet to make his regular-season NFL debut after being drafted by Las Vegas in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft.

Won't play Sunday
Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Raiders' game against the Chargers on Sunday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fourth-round pick out of Mississippi State won't be making his NFL debut in Week 1, as he'll be sidelined with a hamstring issue. With Richardson missing Sunday's contest, expect Darnay Holmes to serve as the Raiders' top rotational cornerback.
