Nate Hobbs Injury News & Updates
Nov 14, 2025
Not suiting up against Giants
Hobbs (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs will spend a second straight week on the sideline because of a sprained MCL he suffered in Week 9 versus the Panthers. In his absence, 2023 seventh-rounder Carrington Valentine figures to continue to play a near-every down role at corner opposite Keisean Nixon.
Nov 13, 2025
Doesn't practice Thursday
Hobbs (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs suffered a sprained MCL in the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers and missed the Week 10 loss the Eagles due to the injury. Thursday marks the cornerbacks fifth straight missed practice, and if nothing changes Carrington Valentine will once again be in line to handle significant cornerback snaps for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Nov 12, 2025
Remains DNP on Wednesday
Hobbs (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs suffered a sprained MCL in the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers and did not play during Monday night's loss to the Eagles. He's missed four straight practices. Carrington Valentine would again be in line to handle significant cornerback snaps if Hobbs is unable to play Week 11 against the Giants.
Nov 8, 2025
Won't play Week 10
Hobbs (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers. The injury was severe enough for him to miss practice all week, and the expectation from head coach Matt LaFleur is that the 2021 fifth-rounder will also be sidelined for Week 12 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 16.
Nov 6, 2025
Absent from practice
Hobbs (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was unable to practice to open the week, which comes as no surprise after head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that the cornerback is expected to miss at least two games while recovering from a Grade 1 MCL sprain. In his absence, Carrington Valentine will continue to handle the lion's share of snaps opposite Keisean Nixon in Green Bay's secondary.
Nov 3, 2025
Diagnosed with MCL sprain
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Hobbs is expected to miss at least two games due to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Ryan Woods of PackersNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury is not to the same knee that was surgically repaired during training camp, but Woods relays that Hobbs started to feel knee pain during the Packers' Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. He played just 21 snaps (19 on defense, two on special teams) during the Packers' 16-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, and further tests on the knee revealed a Grade 1 sprain that will keep the fifth-year corner out for at least two games, though the injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. With Hobbs sidelined for Weeks 10 and 11, his next opportunity to play will be Week 12 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Oct 23, 2025
Logs full practice Thursday
Hobbs (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was limited to open Week 8 prep due to a lingering knee injury, but his ability to practice Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. The 2021 fifth-rounder has played every single defensive snap in the Packers' two games following the Week 4 bye, accumulating nine tackles (five solo) over that span.
Oct 22, 2025
Back on injury report
Hobbs (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was a late addition to Green Bay's injury report due to a knee injury last Friday but was able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. He ended up playing all of the Packers' defensive snaps in that game, finishing with six tackles. With that in mind, Hobbs' limited participation Wednesday may have been for maintenance reasons, though his status the remainder of the week should shed some light on whether he's at any risk of missing Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
Oct 19, 2025
Good to go against Arizona
Hobbs (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to a knee injury. He was listed as questionable heading into Week 7 but has been cleared to suit up after going through pregame warmups. With Keisean Nixon (illness) also active, Hobbs will likely serve in a rotational role in the secondary while contributing on special teams.
Oct 17, 2025
Added to injury report
Hobbs (knee) was added to the injury report Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but he apparently tweaked his knee at some point during the week. It's positive that he was still able to practice in some capacity, but his status isn't likely to be clear until 90 minutes before kickoff at 4:25 pm ET.
Oct 12, 2025
Good to go against Cincinnati
Hobbs (concussion) is active fro Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's home tilt. The 2021 fifth-rounder has logged 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense through three regular-season games in 2025.
Oct 10, 2025
Iffy to play against Cincinnati
Hobbs (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs is in the league's five-step concussion protocol, and he will have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's home contest. Kamal Hadden would be in line for snaps in a rotational role at corner if Hobbs is not cleared to play.
Oct 8, 2025
In concussion protocol
Hobbs (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was being evaluated for a concussion during the Packers' Week 4 tie to the Cowboys after taking a hit to the head during the second half of the contest. The 2021 fifth-rounder is in the league's five-step concussion protocol even after the Week 5 bye, so he will have to clear those steps in order to play against the Bengals on Sunday.
Sep 28, 2025
Being evaluated for concussion
Hobbs (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs took a blow to the head in the second half versus Dallas, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Bo Melton and Carrington Valentine stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.
Sep 19, 2025
Ready to roll
Hobbs (knee) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs missed Week 1 while recovering from knee surgery and returned to a limited snap count in Week 2. He could take on a bigger role in Week 3 now that he appears to be returning to closer to full strength.
Sep 17, 2025
Limited practice Wednesday
Hobbs (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was able to play in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday, recording one solo tackle, while playing 31 defensive snaps and four snaps on special teams. The cornerback had been sidelined since early August following a procedure on his knee. Hobbs will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns in Cleveland.
Sep 13, 2025
Plays 36 snaps in 2025 debut
Hobbs tallied one solo tackle during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was cleared to play Thursday after being sidelined since early August due to a knee procedure. The 2021 fifth-rounder saw the field for 36 snaps (32 snaps on defense, four on special teams), 27 of which were at outside corner. He's slated to work in a rotational role behind Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon and Javon Bullard, though Hobbs could see the field more in defensive packages where the Packers deploy an additional defensive back.
Sep 11, 2025
Cleared to play Thursday
Hobbs (knee) is active for Thursday's game against Washington, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has fully recovered from a knee procedure from early August, which prevented him from playing against the Lions in Week 1. The 2021 fifth-rounder signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers in March and is expected to serve in a prominent role in the secondary alongside Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon, Evan Williams and Xavier McKinney. Hobbs appeared in 11 regular-season games for the Raiders in 2024 and finished with 49 tackles (33 solo) and five pass defenses (one interception).
Sep 10, 2025
Questionable for Week 2
Hobbs (knee) is considered questionable to play in Thursday's contest against Washington, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was estimated as a limited participant at practice Monday and Tuesday before officially logging a limited session Wednesday. The cornerback returned to practice last Thursday after missing a month of action following a procedure on his knee, and he could make his debut with Green Bay on Thursday Night Football.
Sep 8, 2025
Estimated as limited Monday
Hobbs (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs underwent knee surgery in early August and missed the Packers' Week 1 opener against the Lions despite a pair of limited practices last Thursday and Friday. His limited sessions would seem to indicate he's nearing a return to the lineup. Green Bay hosts the Commanders on Thursday night.
Sep 7, 2025
Won't play Week 1
Hobbs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs ended the week with back-to-back limited practices after being a DNP on Wednesday, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to play Sunday. In his absence, Kamal Hadden and Bo Melton are the top candidates to start at outside corner opposite Keisean Nixon. Hobbs' next chance to see the field is Thursday against the Commanders.
Sep 5, 2025
Could play in Week 1
Hobbs (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs upgraded from a DNP at Wednesday's practice to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, so it appears he's trending in the right direction ahead of Green Bay's regular-season opener. The first-year Packer appeared in 11 games for the Raiders in 2024, recording 49 total tackles and five passes defended, including one interception. If Hobbs can suit up Sunday, he's expected to start opposite Keisean Nixon, serving as part of the Packers' top outside cornerback duo.
Sep 4, 2025
Practices, chance for Week 1
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Hobbs (knee) is practicing in a limited capacity, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs is practicing for the first time since July 31, as Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports, and per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com LaFleur said he'll "absolutely" give the starting cornerback a chance to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener at home against the Lions. Green Bay has taken a cautious approach to Hobbs' recovery from knee surgery to address a partially torn meniscus. Friday's official practice report will reveal Hobbs' injury designation, or lack thereof, for Week 1.
Sep 3, 2025
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Hobbs (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs underwent surgery a couple weeks into training camp to address a partially torn meniscus, and his availability for Week 1 is now in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the Lions.
Aug 5, 2025
Undergoes Surgery
Hobbs underwent surgery on his knee Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs' surgery will help repair a partially torn meniscus that was suffered in practice last week. He is expected to miss the remainder of the offseason with hopes of returning for the Packers' season opener Sept. 7. The 26-year-old has missed a total of 16 games in four years with Las Vegas. The fifth-year corner signed with Green Bay this offseason to start at cornerback alongside Keisean Nixon, should Hobbs stay healthy.
Aug 1, 2025
Battling knee injury
Hobbs (knee) did not practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Hobbs should be considered day-to-day for now. After spending the first four years of his career with the Raiders, Hobbs signed a four-year, $48 million deal with Green Bay back in March. He's expected to cover the slot for the Packers.
Mar 10, 2025
New slot corner for Green Bay
The Packers are in line to sign Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs earns a substantial payday in Green Bay, after having proven himself as a reliable slot cornerback across four seasons with the Raiders. The 26-year-old started 38 of his 51 regular-season appearances with Las Vegas, including seven starts out of 11 games in 2024. With Jaire Alexander (knee) an apparent candidate to be traded, Hobbs is a key addition to what may be a revamped Packers secondary for 2025.
Jan 5, 2025
Inactive Sunday
Hobbs (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback appeared on the injury report Friday after missing practice. Hobbs played in the Raiders' Week 17 win over the Saints but missed five of the previous six games with the illness and a knee injury. Darnay Holmes should be the next man up in the slot.
Jan 3, 2025
Questionable for finale
Hobbs (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was added to the injury report Friday after he logged a DNP in practice. He's been battling the illness for weeks but was able to play last Sunday against the Saints after missing five of the previous six games due to the illness and an ankle injury. Darnay Holmes would likely cover the slot if Hobbs is unable to play Sunday.
Dec 25, 2024
Not listed on injury report
Hobbs (illness) was not listed on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs sat out the team's Week 16 win over the Jaguars due to an illness but is now healthy again. He should once again serve as the team's top slot corner during Sunday's game against the Saints.
Dec 20, 2024
Questionable due to illness
Hobbs (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was added to the injury report Friday, logging a DNP. Hobbs just returned from a four-game absence last week against the Falcons and played 55 percent of the defensive snaps, finishing with a pair of tackles (two solo) in the 15-9 loss. Decamerion Richardson and Jack Jones have been starting and operating as every-down players at cornerback for the Raiders. Darnay Holmes would be next in line for snaps at slot cornerback if Hobbs needs to miss Week 16.
Dec 15, 2024
Has no injury designation for MNF
Hobbs (ankle) is clear to play against the Falcons on Monday night, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs is set to return from a four-game absence caused by an ankle injury. The fourth-year defender began this week with a pair of limited practice sessions before participating in full Saturday to clear the way for his return. With Hobbs set to suit up Monday, Darnay Holmes will likely return to a rotational role.
Dec 12, 2024
Limited on Thursday
Hobbs (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has missed the Raiders' last four contests after he was injured in Week 9 versus Cincinnati. The limited practice to start the week gives him a chance to suit up Monday night against the Falcons.
Dec 6, 2024
Missing another week
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has yet to return to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in Las Vegas' Week 9 loss to the Bengals, and he's now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday. Expect Darnay Holmes to continue serving as the Raiders' top slot cornerback until Hobbs recovers.
Nov 27, 2024
Out again for Week 13
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs will miss his third consecutive contest after he was initially injured in Week 9 against the Bengals. Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes should continue to handle cornerback duties this week against Kansas City.
Nov 22, 2024
Out for Week 12
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was injured in Week 9 against the Bengals and will miss his second consecutive contest. Decamerion Richardson, Jack Jones and Darnay Holmes paced the Raiders' cornerbacks in playing time last Sunday against Miami.
Nov 20, 2024
Missing Wednesday's Practice
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Hobbs (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old cornerback was sidelined for the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins after sustaining an ankle injury the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he might be at risk of missing additional time. If Hobbs cannot upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss his second consecutive game in the Week 12 matchup against the Broncos.
Nov 15, 2024
Ruled out for Week 11
Hobbs (ankle) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was carted off the field due to an ankle injury in Week 8 against the Bengals. Even with the extra rest thanks to the Raiders' Week 10 bye, the 2021 fifth-round pick was unable to practice all week, and his next chance to play will be Week 12 against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Hobbs sidelined Sunday, Darnay Holmes and Decamerion Richardson are candidates to start at nickel corner.
Nov 13, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Hobbs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Illinois product was carted to the locker room after sustaining an ankle injury in Las Vegas' Week 9 loss to Cincinnati, so it's no surprise that he's missing Wednesday's practice. If Hobbs is unable to practice in at least a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday, expect Darnay Holmes and Decamerion Richardson to see increased work with the Raiders' first-team defense in Week 11's matchup against the Dolphins.
Nov 3, 2024
Will not return
Hobbs (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Hobbs was carted to the locker room. In his absence, Decamerion Richardson and Darnay Holmes are candidates to fill in at slot cornerback.
Nov 3, 2024
Carted off with ankle injury
Hobbs exited Sunday's game against the Bengals with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was carted to the locker room with the injury. The Raiders will move forward with Jack Jones, Jakorian Bennett, Darnay Holmes and Decamerion Richardson available at cornerback while Hobbs is sidelined.
Oct 21, 2024
Snags pick in loss
Hobbs logged six tackles (six solo), a pass deflection and an interception during Las Vegas' loss to the Rams on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs managed to pick off Matthew Stafford during Sunday's loss in what was the only turnover the Raiders managed to force. The 25-year-old's interception also served as his first of the season and third of his career.
Oct 14, 2024
Records season-high 10 tackles
Hobbs recorded 10 tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs hadn't notched more than five tackles in a single contest this season until Sunday's tilt. He's yet to force a turnover through the first six weeks of his 2024 campaign, but Hobbs remains a key piece in the Raiders' secondary ahead of a matchup against the Rams, who might be returning wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) from a three-game absence.
Jan 1, 2024
Leads defense in tackles
Hobbs finished Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts with eight tackles (four solo).
ANALYSIS
It's the second-straight week that Hobbs has led or co-led the Raiders' defense in tackles. He's up to a career-high 84 tackles (58 solo) on the year in spite of missing four games earlier in the season with an ankle injury and is fourth on the team in that category.
Nov 28, 2023
Productive in loss
Hobbs logged eight tackles (even solo) during Las Vegas' 31-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs finished second on the team in tackles and has now compiled eight tackles in back-to-back games. The 24-year-old is currently on pace to set a new career high in tackles despite missing four games earlier this season.
Nov 16, 2023
On track to play Sunday
Hobbs (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being limited at practice Wednesday, it looks like Hobbs will be at 100 percent for Week 11. With Marcus Peters (knee) and Amik Robertson (concussion) both dealing with injuries, Hobbs could be in line for a significant role at corner Sunday at Miami.
Nov 8, 2023
Back on injury report Wednesday
Hobbs was listed as a limited participant on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was previously sidelined for four games in a row this season due to an ankle injury, but he's been able to return an play over 60 percent of Las Vegas' defensive snaps in each of the past two weeks. The 25-year-old has been a starting corner over the past few seasons for the Raiders, and he's tallied 38 tackles, four passes defended and an interception across five games this season. Hobbs will have two more opportunities to increase his participation level before this Sunday's game against the Jets.
Nov 7, 2023
Snatches first interception of 2023
Hobbs recorded seven tackles (three solo) while intercepting a pass and deflecting another in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was able to snatch his first interception, picking off Tommy DeVito in the second quarter. The cornerback has now compiled 38 tackles, including a sack, while adding four pass deflections and the interception over five active games this season.
Oct 31, 2023
Gets sack after four-game absence
Hobbs had six tackles (four solo) including a sack in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was active for Monday's game after missing the past four games with an ankle injury. He played 52 defensive snaps and managed to record his first sack of the season in the second quarter on Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was attempting to throw into the end zone on a trick play. Hobbs was a limited participant in practices leading up to Week 8 and his participation leading up to Week 9 against the Giants will indicate whether his usage will increase for that contest.
Oct 30, 2023
Set to return Monday
Hobbs (ankle) is active for Monday's contest against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs missed the last four games with an ankle injury but he appears to be good to go for Monday's game after putting in three limited sessions in practice leading up to Week 8. He'll resume his role at starting cornerback opposite veteran Marcus Peters.
Oct 28, 2023
Could return against Detroit
Hobbs (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has missed the Raiders' last four games, though he managed three limited practices in the lead up to Monday's matchup. He was on the field for over 80 percent of defensive snaps in all three of his contests this season and is likely to return to a significant role.
Oct 20, 2023
Set to miss another contest
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game in Chicago, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has already missed three games due to an ankle injury, and he didn't practice at all this week before being ruled out for the fourth consecutive contest. Jakorian Bennett has also been deemed out due to a lingering shoulder injury, so Tyler Hall and Amik Robertson could again be pressed into extra duty in Las Vegas' defensive backfield.
Oct 18, 2023
Not practicing Wednesday
Hobbs (ankle) will not participate at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has sat out Las Vegas' last three games due to an ankle injury, and he'll start the Raiders' new week of practice as a non-participant. He'll likely need to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a shot to play Sunday at Chicago.
Oct 13, 2023
Out again for Week 6
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Patriots, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Hobbs' third consecutive absence after he was injured in Week 3. Amik Robertson and Marcus Peters figure to get the bulk of the playing time against the Patriots' mediocre wideout corps.
Oct 9, 2023
Officially inactive Week 5
Hobbs (ankle) is inactive against the Packers on Monday Night Football.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was listed as questionable on the Raiders' final injury report, but he had already been ruled out prior to Monday. Jakorian Bennett (ankle) in also inactive against Green Bay, leaving David Long to start at outside cornerback and Amik Robertson to start in the slot. Hobbs will now look to improve enough to return Sunday against New England.
Oct 7, 2023
Out Monday
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against Green Bay, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Las Vegas' top cornerback will be held out for the second consecutive week, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Jakorian Bennett (hamstring) and David Long (ankle) are listed as questionable, and if either of them are able to suit up Monday, they'll likely see an uptick in work with Hobbs missing time.
Oct 5, 2023
Still dealing with injury
Hobbs (ankle) will not practice Thursday, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs missed the team's loss to the Chargers on Sunday and appears to still need some extra time to recover from the injury. Fortunately for Hobbs and the Raiders, they don't play until Monday against the Packers, so the 24-year-old will be afforded an extra day to prepare to play.
Sep 30, 2023
Out Week 4
Hobbs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was a limited participant in Friday's practice and the injury is severe enough for him to be forced out for Sunday. Jakorian Bennett and David Long will be tasked to fill in for Hobbs at corner opposite Marcus Peters.
Sep 30, 2023
Gets questionable tag
Hobbs is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chargers due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear when Hobbs injured his ankle, but he popped up on the injury report Friday with a limited workload. Jakorian Bennett and David Long would be candidates to replace him at corner opposite Marcus Peters if he does not ultimately get the green light. More clarity on his status should come Sunday morning.
Sep 11, 2023
Paces defense with 12 tackles
Hobbs made 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Primarily playing the slot corner role, Hobbs was all over the place as he paced the Raiders' defense in takedowns Sunday, including two tackles for loss. He figures to remain busy in Week 2 against a capable Bills offense.
Jun 12, 2023
Back from injury
Hobbs is back in action after recovering from a hand injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs injured his hand during Las Vegas' Week 18 loss to Kansas City but now appears to be healthy once again. The 23-year-old has been lining up at nickelback during OTAs and will likely serve as a starter during the 2023 season.
Jan 7, 2023
Forced out against Chiefs
Hobbs has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chiefs due to a hand injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs suffered a broken hand early in the season, an injury that cost him six games. He's suited up for each of the Raiders' last five contests and has been a key part of the team's secondary. He'll end the 2022 campaign with 72 total tackles, one sack and four passes defended across 11 games.
Jan 4, 2023
Eight stops in loss
Hobbs tallied eight tackles (six solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 37-34 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs recorded at least eight stops for the sixth time this season. Across 10 appearances, he's totaled 71 tackles, four pass defenses, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The second-year cornerback needs three tackles in Week 18 to tie his career-high mark (74), which he set as a rookie in 2021.
Dec 27, 2022
Racks up six stops Saturday
Hobbs recorded six tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
While usual starting cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was once again unavailable in Week 16 due to a knee issue, Hobbs operated as the Raiders' No. 1 secondary option this past weekend in Pittsburgh and registered six stops in the process. Whether or not Ya-Sin is able to gain medical clearance for Las Vegas' matchup against the 49ers on New Year's Day, the second-year pro is slated to operate as an every-down contributor regardless.
Dec 7, 2022
Picks up fumble in return
Hobbs recorded eight solo tackles and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 27-20 win versus the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs played all but three of the Raiders' defensive snaps in his first time back from a six-game hiatus due to a broken hand. As a result, the second-year cornerback picked up right where he left off, recording at least eight tackles for the fourth time in his six contests played. Hobbs also logged his second takeaway of the season when he picked up a fumble from running back Austin Ekeler early in the third quarter. He'll look to continue playing a prominent role Week 14 versus the Rams' depleted offense.
Dec 3, 2022
Comes back from IR
Las Vegas activated Hobbs (hand) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs has missed the Raiders' last six games with a broken hand, but it appears he's poised to suit up in Week 13. The 2021 fifth-rounder should step into a rotational role in the Las Vegas defensive backfield when they line up across from Justin Herbert on Sunday.
Nov 23, 2022
Designated to return from IR
The Raiders designated Hobbs to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs landed on IR on Oct. 17 after fracturing his left hand in Week 5 against Kansas City. Prior to that contest, he had logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in two of Las Vegas' first four games. The Raiders now have three weeks to activate Hobbs, but he could play as soon as this Sunday in Seattle if the team feels he is ready to return.
Oct 17, 2022
Lands on IR
The Raiders placed Hobbs (hand) on the injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs will now be forced to sit out until at least Week 11 while recovering from a fractured left hand on IR. The 23-year-old sustained this injury during last Monday's loss to the Chiefs, though he was able to return and finish out the remainder of this contest with a cast on his left hand. Hobbs recorded 36 tackles, two passes defended, one sack and a forced fumble over five starts this season, and his absence will leave the Raiders with just three healthy cornerbacks between Rock Ya-Sin, Amik Robertson and Sam Webb.

Dealing with broken hand
Hobbs fractured his left hand during Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs did not initially emerge from Las Vegas' locker room to start the second half Monday, though he was eventually able to finish this contest with a club on his injured left hand. It's unclear if the starting cornerback will be able to continue playing through this injury, though he'll have an extra bye week to recover before the Raiders' next game Sunday, Oct. 23.

Returns for second half
Hobbs (thumb) returned with his hand in a cast during Monday's game against the Chiefs, Case Keefer of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs will apparently play through whatever thumb issue kept him from lining up on Las Vegas' first defensive series of the second half. However, it will be worth monitoring the veteran's injury status following Monday's game.
Oct 10, 2022
Questionable to return
Hobbs is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chiefs with a thumb injury.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs recorded six tackles in the first half of Monday's game, but he did not emerge from the Raiders' locker room to start the second half, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. With the starting cornerback out, Sam Webb and Amik Robertson figure to fill in opposite Rock Ya-Sin.
Sep 30, 2022
Cleared for Week 4
Hobbs doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs didn't practice Wednesday due to a concussion he suffered during the team's Week 3 loss to Tennessee, but he was upgraded to a limited participant Thursday and was full go Friday, putting him in line to play Sunday. Through three games, Hobbs has totaled 24 tackles and one pass defense while playing nearly every defensive snap.
Sep 28, 2022
Not practicing Wednesday
Hobbs (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss at Tennessee, and it appears the sophomore fifth-rounder will need at least a day or two more to recover before he's ready to get back onto the field. He won't be eligible to completely clear concussion protocol until Sunday, and if he's unable to play Week 4 versus Denver, Amik Robertson and Sam Webb would likely see most of the fill-in reps.
Sep 26, 2022
Lands in concussion protocol
Hobbs suffered a concussion during Sunday's contest against the Titans, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Hobbs lands in concussion protocols after not returning to the team's Week 2 loss due to a head injury. He'll have until next Sunday to clear protocols, but if he's sidelined for Week 3, Amik Robertson and Sam Webb would be candidates for increased roles against the Broncos.
Sep 25, 2022
Will not return
Hobbs (concussion) will not return Sunday against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs left the game early to be evaluated for a concussion. His inability to return likely signals the cornerback failed the evaluation. In his absence, Amik Robertson and Sam Webb will likely see an increased role. If Hobbs did suffer a concussion, he'll need to clear protocols before suiting up in Week 4 against the Broncos.
Sep 21, 2022
11 tackles in loss
Hobbs notched 11 tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 29-23 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was one of three Raiders to finish with at least 10 tackles. Through two games, the second-year cornerback has totaled 20 tackles (15 solo) one pass defense and one forced fumble. He'll look to continue his hot start against the Titans in Week 3.
Jun 20, 2022
Returns to practice
Hobbs (shoulder) has been participating in offseason work as the Raiders' starting nickelback, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs finished his rookie season with 71 tackles, three passes defensed, one sack and one interception across 16 games. The 2021 fifth-round pick underwent offseason shoulder surgery following his first NFL campaign, but he appears to have cleared rehab and should be healthy for the start of the regular season. Regardless, Hobbs may still face league discipline after being arrested twice during January, so his status as a starter is tentative.
Jan 26, 2022
Avoids DUI
Hobbs (shoulder) is no longer facing a DUI charge but did plead guilty to a careless driving charge Wednesday, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.
ANALYSIS
He also has a reckless driving charge from a separate, more recent incident (Jan. 16), approximately two weeks after the first arrest. Hobbs won't get the guaranteed suspension that comes with a DUI, but he may still face league discipline of some kind. He's also recovering from shoulder surgery, after working as the Raiders' nickelback for most of his rookie campaign in 2021.
Jan 22, 2022
Undergoes back surgery
Hobbs (shoulder) underwent surgery Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs finished his rookie season in Las Vegas with 71 tackles (48) solo, one sack, three passes defensed and one interception across 16 games. The 22-year-old will now focus on his shoulder recovery and focus on the 2022 season.
Jan 5, 2022
Expected to play Week 18
Raiders interim head coach Rich Bissacia said he expects Hobbs to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers after the cornerback was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge Monday in Las Vegas, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. "Obviously, we take that extremely serious, organizationally and certainly within our team," Bisaccia said Wednesday. "So based on what we've learned, at this time, we expect Nate to play. It's a legal matter and other than that I have really nothing else and we'll leave it at that."
ANALYSIS
Bisaccia's comments suggest that the Raiders will leave it up to the NFL to decide whether Hobbs faces any punishment after the rookie fifth-round draft pick was found asleep in a vehicle parked on the exit ramp of a parking garage and then arrested after failing a field sobriety test. Hobbs' attorneys have since contested the DUI charge, so the league will presumably let the legal process play out before deciding whether Hobbs' actions warrant a fine and/or a suspension. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a strong debut campaign as the Raiders' nickel cornerback, tallying 67 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and a sack through 15 games.
Jan 3, 2022
Arrested on DUI charge
Hobbs was arrested early Monday in Las Vegas on a misdemeanor DUI charge, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. In a statement, the Raiders said they are "aware of the incident involving Nate Hobbs," adding that, "the organization has been in communication with local law enforcement and is in the process of gathering more information."
ANALYSIS
Hobbs was taken into policy custody after he failed a field sobriety test, which was administered after officers found him asleep in a car parked on the exit ramp of a parking garage. The fifth-round rookie cornerback has appeared in 15 games for Las Vegas this season, recording 67 tackles and an interception.
Dec 25, 2021
Returns from COVID list
Hobbs was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs will return from a one-game absence Sunday against the Broncos. The rookie should resume his starting role opposite of Casey Hayward at corner in the Raiders' secondary.
Dec 20, 2021
Lands on COVID list
Hobbs (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs played 91 percent of the defensive snaps last week but will be sidelined for Monday's game against the Browns, which was originally scheduled for Saturday. Desmond Trufant and Brandon Facyson should see increased run in the secondary for the Raiders in his absence.
Dec 6, 2021
First career interception
Hobbs recorded nine tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs picked off Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke in the fourth quarter, marking the former's first career interception on a deep pass intended for Terry McLaurin. Hobbs is averaging five tackles per game as a rookie, and he should continue to earn a substantial defensive snap share against the Chiefs in Week 14.
Oct 6, 2021
Records full practice Wednesday
Hobbs (head) was listed as a full participant in the Raiders' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs injured his head during Monday's loss to the Chargers and was evaluated for a concussion. Luckily for Las Vegas, the cornerback did not suffer a concussion, but they did lose corners Damon Arnette (groin) and Trayvon Mullen (foot) to injuries during Monday's contest. With Hobbs fully practicing Wednesday, he could be in line for a big role Sunday if Mullen and Arnette can't suit up against the Bears.
Oct 4, 2021
Suffers head injury
Hobbs suffered a head injury during Monday's game against the Chargers and is being evaluated for a concussion, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs is one of three Raider cornerbacks who suffered injuries during Monday's matchup. Damon Arnette (groin) and Trayvon Mullen (foot) also went down in the loss.
Aug 15, 2021
Could start Week 1
Hobbs recorded two tackles, including a strip sack, in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Hobbs, who was a four-year starter at Illinois before being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by Las Vegas, is looking like the favorite to open the Raiders' regular season as the starter at nickle cornerback while veteran Nevin Lawson serves a two-game suspension. Hobbs drew the following praise from coach Jon Gruden this weekend, "There's certain guys that bring juice; they bring something to the game that others, you just can't explain it, he's into it all the time," Jesse Merrick of News3LV.com reports.
