Won't suit up vs. Giants
Bennett (undisclosed) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Bennett will miss his fifth straight game due to an undisclosed issue in Week 8 despite managing a full practice Friday. Bennett's absence along with that of Adoree' Jackson (concussion) will leave Kelee Ringo as Philadelphia's nickel corner behind Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

ANALYSIS
The third-year pro from Maryland has missed the Eagles' last four games due to an undisclosed issue, but it now appears he's nearing a return.

Set for prolonged absence
Bennett (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Competing for CB2 role
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said after Saturday's training camp practice that Bennett that Bennett has a chance at competing for the No. 2 cornerback job opposite Quinyon Mitchell, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett was the odd-man out in the Raiders' cornerback rotation, which prompted his trade to the Eagles this past Monday in exchange for defensive tackle Thomas Booker. Bennett made his Eagles' training camp debut Saturday, and the 2023 fourth-rounder has a shot at earning a spot in the first-team defense after Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson struggled during Philadelphia's 34-27 preseason win over Cincinnati on Thursday. Bennett would certainly make his case with a strong performance in training camp and over the Eagles' final two preseason games, starting with Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Browns.
Aug 4, 2025
Traded to Philly
The Eagles acquired Bennett from the Raiders in exchange for DT Thomas Booker on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
A fourth-round pick in 2023 by the Raiders, Bennett appeared in 10 regular-season games last season for Las Vegas, making seven starts. He suffered a shoulder injury in Week 11 and missed the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve. With a new coaching staff in town, Bennett was deemed expendable. He'll compete for cornerback snaps behind Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in Philadelphia.

Unhindered at OTAs
Bennett (shoulder) is participating during OTAs, Matt Aguirre of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett sat out the last seven weeks of Las Vegas' 2024 season due to a shoulder issue, but he's now back in action for offseason workouts. He had become a regular starter at corner last year before getting hurt, and he'll probably play a significant role again in 2025, but he'll now have to compete for snaps with rookie third-rounder Darien Porter and FA acquisition Eric Stokes.
Nov 28, 2024
Moves to IR
Bennett (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve by the Raiders on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback got injured two snaps into Las Vegas' Week 11 loss to Miami, missed the team's Week 12 defeat to Denver and had already been ruled out for Friday's matchup with Kansas City. Bennett has 26 tackles (15 solo) and eight pass breakups this season. Rookie Decamerion Richardson should see more snaps in his absence.
Nov 27, 2024
Out again for Week 13
Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett will miss his second straight game after he was injured two snaps into Week 11 versus Miami. With Nate Hobbs (ankle) also out still, Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes should once again soak up the cornerback snaps against the Chiefs.
Nov 22, 2024
Out for Week 12
Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Nate Hobbs (ankle) out last week against Miami, Bennett got the start at cornerback for Las Vegas, but he played two defensive snaps before getting hurt. Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes finished the game as the Raiders' cornerbacks.
Nov 20, 2024
Sidelined Wednesday
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Bennett (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett didn't return to the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins after sustaining a shoulder injury first quarter, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The second-year corner from Maryland could be in jeopardy of missing Las Vegas' Week 12 matchup against the Broncos if he can't upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday.
Nov 17, 2024
Won't return vs. Miami
Bennett (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Bennett suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter, and after being evaluated in the locker room, he will not return for the second half of Sunday's game. Decamerion Richardson will start at corner for the final two quarters opposite Jack Jones.
Nov 17, 2024
Exits with shoulder injury
Bennett (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Bennett suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. The Raiders are already without starter Nate Hobbs (ankle), and while Bennett is sidelined, Decamerion Richardson will come in at corner opposite Jack Jones.
Oct 28, 2023
Set for return
Bennett (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Bennett was forced to miss Las Vegas' Week 7 matchup against Chicago but ended his week of practice with a full session Saturday. As a result, he'll be set to return as the nickel back in the Raiders' secondary.
Oct 20, 2023
Won't play Week 7
Bennett (shoulder) has been deemed out against Chicago for Week 7, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett missed Week 5 against Green Bay, and he was then deemed questionable Week 6 versus New England because of a shoulder injury. The cornerback was ultimately able to suit up for that contest, but he's been ruled out for Week 7 after following a pair of limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday with a DNP on Friday. Nate Hobbs (ankle) will also miss Sunday's game in Chicago, so Tyler Hall and Amik Robertson should get extended run again.
Oct 15, 2023
Cleared to return
Bennett (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett missed the Raiders' Week 5 win over the Packers on Monday Night Football due to a shoulder injury, but he's been cleared to suit up Sunday after logging limited practices throughout Week 6 prep. Before suffering the injury, Bennett recorded 18 tackles over three games while operating as a starter.
Oct 13, 2023
Draws questionable tag
The Raiders have listed Bennett (shoulder) as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Bennett is looking to return from a one-game absence. He logged limited workloads at practice each day this week and is looking like a true game-time decision. With Nate Hobbs (ankle) sidelined, Bennett could see an increased workload if he ultimately gets the green light.
Oct 9, 2023
Inactive for Monday Night Football
Bennett (hamstring) is officially inactive for Monday's Week 5 contest versus Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Bennett came into Monday as questionable to play after logging a trio of limited practices this week, but he'll ultimately miss his first game this season. Nate Hobbs (ankle) is also inactive, leaving the Raiders perilously thin in their secondary. David Long will start at outside cornerback while Amik Robertson is likely to start in the slot.
Oct 7, 2023
Chance to play Monday
Bennett (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers, Anthony Galaviz of the Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 fifth-round pick out of Illinois was a limited participant all week during Raiders practice with a hamstring injury. Las Vegas is already without their top cornerback, Nate Hobbs (ankle), so it would be a big loss if Bennett is unable to go Monday night.

Lands in Las Vegas
The Raiders selected Bennett in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 104th overall.
ANALYSIS
Bennett ran a 4.30 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, cementing his status as a likely early Day 3 selection. A three-year starter at Maryland, Bennett likely is too small (5-foot-11, 188 pounds) to be an obvious boundary corner, but he was uniquely productive defending opposing receivers, particularly in man coverage to the point that it will be surprising if he doesn't compete for a starting role in 2023.
