Raiders see Jackson Powers-Johnson return, but lose Dont'e Thornton

The Raiders began their final week of training camp on August 23, 2026, with Jackson Powers-Johnson returning to practice after missing previous sessions due to injury. Powers-Johnson had not participated in the joint practice in Houston or the second preseason game. In his absence, Caleb Rogers took first team reps. However, former starting wide receiver Dont'e Thornton remained absent from practice, having missed the preseason entirely, which jeopardizes his spot on the roster. Head coach Klint Kubiak had previously expected Thornton to participate this preseason, but time is running out as the team prepares for their third preseason matchup against the 49ers on Thursday.
