Will play against Denver
James (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos. James missed the Raiders' last two contests due to an ankle injury, but he'll return Week 12 after logging consecutive limited practices to end the week. He'll reclaim his starting spot at center while Jackson Powers-Johnson moves back to a reserve role.
Iffy for Week 12
James (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. James has been sidelined for the Raiders' last two regular-season games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Chiefs. James was a DNP on Wednesday, but he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging consecutive limited practices to end the week. If he's unable to play, Jackson Powers-Johnson will start at center for a third straight game.
Ruled out for Week 11
James (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. James suffered an ankle injury in Week 8 against the Chiefs, which forced him to be held out for Week 9 against the Bengals. Even with the extra rest courtesy of the Raiders' Week 10 bye, James was unable to practice all week, and he will be sidelined for a third consecutive game as a result. Jackson Powers-Johnson will continue to start at center in James' absence.
Ruled out for Week 9
James (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. James suffered an ankle injury in the team's loss to Kansas City in Week 8, and he will now be forced to miss his first contest of the year. In his absence, Jackson Powers-Johnson will likely draw the start at center against Cincinnati.
Leaves game with ankle injury
James (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs. While James is sidelined, Jackson Powers-Johnson will take over under center for the Raiders.
Stays in Vegas
James re-signed with the Raiders on Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. James' new contract is for three years and worth $24 million with $16 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 26-year-old has spent the last five seasons with the Franchise and is now set to add a sixth to his resume. James has been the team's starter at center each of the last three seasons and should have the inside track for the role again in 2024.
