Raiders defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway remains sidelined with a concussion

The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing for their upcoming home game against the Los Angeles Rams without starting defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway, who is still in NFL concussion protocol. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated that Hemingway was hurt in Week 5 and did not participate in Week 6’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Kubiak expects Hemingway to return to practice this week, which would give him a chance to play against the Rams if he is cleared by Friday. Additionally, wide receiver Dont’e Thornton may be activated from injured reserve if he shows readiness. Limited participation in practice involved tight end Brock Bowers, running back Mike Washington, tackle Kolton Miller, and linebacker Quay Walker.
