Mauga (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. The 24-year-old missed the Raiders' Week 16 win over the Jaguars due to an illness and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a calf injury. However, Mauga logged a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past both issues in time to play Sunday. With Mauga back at full health, he's expected to serve as a depth piece in Las Vegas' linebacker corps in Week 17.

Mauga (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. The 24-year-old missed the Raiders' Week 16 win over the Jaguars due to an illness and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a calf injury. However, Mauga logged a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past both issues in time to play Sunday. With Mauga back at full health, he's expected to serve as a depth piece in Las Vegas' linebacker corps in Week 17.
Mauga (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Mauga was unable to practice Friday due to an illness, and it appears serious enough for him to be sidelined Sunday. He'll look to shake off the ailment and return for the Raiders' Week 17 contest against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 29. Amari Gainer and Amari Burney will be Las Vegas' rotational linebackers Sunday behind starters Divine Deablo, Robert Spillane and Tommy Eichenberg due to Mauga's absence.
Mauga (knee) was not listed on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Despite finishing last week with a full practice Friday, Mauga was sidelined for a second straight game due to a knee injury. However, he wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that Mauga should be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals barring any setbacks. Mauga has served solely on special teams this season and has logged one tackle over five regular-season games.
Mauga (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 clash against Kansas City. Mauga will miss a second consecutive contest due to a knee injury. He did manage to log an LP/LP/FP progression during practice this week, so he seems to be improving. Mauga's absence Sunday will primarily impact the Raiders on special teams, as he's yet to log a defensive snap this season.
Mauga (knee) practiced in full Friday and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Mauga was unable to play in Week 7 against the Rams due to a knee injury. He finished the week with a full practice Friday, and the 24-year-old could return for Sunday's AFC West clash. Mauga has contributed solely on special teams this season and has logged one tackle across five regular-season games.
Mauga (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Mauga was unable to practice leading up to the Raiders' Week 7 contest against the Rams, so his return to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is a step in the right direction. He'll have two more practices to upgrade his participation ahead of Sunday's AFC West showdown against the Chiefs.
Mauga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports. Mauga has not been able to practice all week due to a knee injury, and he will not play Week 7. His next chance at suiting up will be against the Chiefs on Oct. 27. Mauga has served solely on special teams this year and has logged one tackle across five regular-season games.
Mauga (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos. The 24-year-old has yet to play a defensive snap this season but is a special teams staple, having logged 76 snaps there across three contests.
Mauga (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. The USC product has a chance to suit up in Week 5 after upgrading from a DNP on Thursday to a limited practice session Friday. If Mauga is able to play in Sunday's contest, he'll likely just serve as one of the Raiders' special-teams aces.
