Las Vegas Raiders elevate Roman Hemby to active roster for Week 5

The Las Vegas Raiders have promoted running back Roman Hemby and wide receiver Deven Thompkins from their practice squad ahead of the Week 5 clash against the New England Patriots. Hemby's elevation comes as fellow running back Ashton Jeanty is listed as questionable due to an ankle and foot injury. If Jeanty is unable to participate, Mike Washington Jr. could see increased opportunities as a flex option. The game is set to take place this week.
