Sincere McCormick - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

In mix for depth role behind rookie McCormick is expected to compete for a depth role behind rookie sixth overall pick Ashton Jeanty, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCormick has presumably recovered from the ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve to finish the 2024 season. Prior to getting hurt, McCormick filled in capably as a starter, rushing for 64 yards in Week 13 and 78 yards in Week 14. The 24-year-old running back will likely slide down a couple pegs on the depth chart following the additions of Jeanty in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and veteran Raheem Mostert in free agency. McCormick may be competing for a roster spot with Zamir White, who was sidelined by a quadriceps injury to finish the 2024 season.

Placed on IR The Raiders have placed McCormick (ankle) on IR.

Impact The ankle injury that McCormick (who had logged two straight starts at running back) sustained in Monday's loss to the Falcons is thus slated to end the running back's season, with the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention. With Zamir White (quadriceps) also on IR, Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullahare poised to lead the team's backfield down the stretch, with Dylan Laube and Chris Collier in reserve. McCormick -- who is under contract with Las Vegas through 2025 -- finishes his 2024 campaign with 39 carries for 183 yards and six catches on seven targets for 29 yards in five contests.

Impact The ankle injury that McCormick sustained in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons will keep the running back sidelined for the final three games of the season. With Zamir White (quadriceps) also on IR, Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullahare poised to lead the team's backfield down the stretch, with Dylan Laube and Chris Collier in reserve.

Not expecting to return in 2024 McCormick (ankle) said Tuesday in a story on his personal Instagram account that he plans to "be back next season."

Impact The Raiders haven't provided any updates on the severity of the ankle injury that forced McCormick out early in the second quarter of Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons, but the running back is implying himself that he's not expecting to be available for the final three games of the season. The ankle injury comes at a particularly tough time for McCormick, a 2022 undrafted free agent who didn't receive his first NFL carries until Week 12 and performed well enough over the previous three games for head coach Antonio Pierce to name him the team's starter prior to the Week 15 contest. Though he averaged a healthy 4.7 yards per carry on 39 totes through five games with the Raiders, McCormick probably won't be guaranteed a meaningful role heading into 2025, as Las Vegas is likely to seek upgrades to its backfield during the offseason.

Won't return to Week 15 contest McCormick (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Atlanta.

Impact McCormick was injured on a 1-yard carry in the second quarter. He was deemed questionable to return ahead of Las Vegas' next offensive drive, then ruled out after halftime. McCormick logged eight yards on seven carries along with 17 yards on two receptions prior to exiting. The Raiders' backfield will consist of Alexander Mattison, Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube for the remainder of the game.

Questionable to return to MNF McCormick injured his ankle in Monday's Week 15 game against Atlanta and is questionable to return.

Impact McCormick had his ankle rolled up on during a second-quarter carry and went to the locker room shortly thereafter. The Raiders announced near the midway point of the period that he is questionable to return. Prior to his exit, McCormick rushed seven times for eight yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards. If he's unable to return Monday, Alexander Mattison figures to work as Las Vegas' lead back, with Ameer Abdullah contributing behind him.

Impact Pierce said Mattison will "probably" return from his three-game absence versus Atlanta, but that McCormick has "run his tail off" and earned the No. 1 backfield role. With Mattison and Zamir White (quadriceps), who is now on IR, both sidelined as of late, McCormick has compiled 142 rushing yards on 27 attempts (5.3 YPC) in his last two appearances. He'll work to log another efficient showing versus Atlanta on Monday.

Impressive showing in loss McCormick rushed 15 times for 78 yards and brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in the Raiders' 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact McCormick took full control of the Raiders' ground game in the absences of Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps), putting together his second straight efficient performance with the help of a team-long 29-yard run. McCormick's opportunities were somewhat limited by game script, making his numbers all the more impressive. With 142 rush yards on 27 carries over his last two games, McCormick appears likely to serve as the top back again in a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 16, irrespective of the status of his pair of injured teammates.

Another expanded role may await McCormick is expected to work in a timeshare out of the backfield with Ameer Abdullah in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay with Zamir White (quadricep) ruled out and with Alexander Mattis...

Impact The Raiders also have rookie sixth-round pick Dylan Laube on hand as another option at running back, though he played exclusively on special teams while Mattison and White were both out the previous two games. McCormick, meanwhile, was elevated from the practice squad for both contests and carried 17 times for 97 yards (5.7 YPC) to go with two receptions for one yard between those games. Though he has comfortably outpaced McCormick in snaps in both games and has been the superior pass-catching threat (seven receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown on eight targets), Abdullah is averaging just 3.7 yards on his 18 totes over the past two weeks, which could compel the Raiders to give McCormick more work on the ground Sunday. Las Vegas signed McCormick to its 53-man roster Tuesday, potentially giving him some security if one or both of White and Mattison are able to return to the mix later on this season.

Gets roster spot The Raiders signed McCormick off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Wide receiver DJ Turner (knee) was placed on injured reserve to open up a spot on the 53-man roster for McCormick, an undrafted rookie out of UTSA who had already exhausted his three practice-squad elevations. With Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadricep) both sidelined for Las Vegas' past two games, McCormick operated as the No. 2 back behind Ameer Abdullah for both contests, carrying 17 times for 97 yards (5.7 YPC) and recording two catches for one yard. Though Mattison and White could both be available for this Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, neither player has been efficient with his opportunities this season, so McCormick could continue to have a role out of the backfield.

Reverts to practice squad McCormick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) both inactive for Friday's game against the Chiefs, McCormick was thrust into backup running back duties behind Ameer Abdullah. McCormick finished Friday's game with 12 carries for 64 yards while adding two catches for one yard, and he played 26 snaps on offense while Abdullah led the Raiders' backfield with 42 offensive snaps. McCormick has an opportunity to reprise his backup role for Week 14 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8 if both Mattison and White were to be sidelined for that contest.

Strong showing in extended duty McCormick rushed 12 times for 64 yards and brought in both targets for one yard in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.

Impact McCormick led the Raiders in rushing yardage, logging two additional carries and 25 more rushing yards than backfield mate Ameer Abdullah. McCormick had just seen his first five career touches in Week 12 against the Broncos and had been similarly efficient with a lighter workload, recording 33 yards on five carries on just eight snaps. The UTSA product, who twice rushed for over 1,400 yards in college, has undeniably shown promise, but it remains to be seen what his role will be if both Zamir White (quadriceps) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are available for a Week 14 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8.

In Week 13 backfield mix McCormick is active Friday against the Chiefs along with fellow RBs Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube.

Impact With both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) inactive Friday, McCormick -- who logged eight offensive snaps and carried five times for 33 yards in the aforementioned duo's absence this past Sunday against the Broncos -- will have have an opportunity to see added work alongside Ameer Abdullah. In that context, McCormick represents a possible fantasy dart for those scrambling for Week 13 running back help.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated again for Week 13 McCormick was elevated from the Raiders' practice squad Thursday ahead of Friday's contest against the Chiefs.

Impact McCormick's elevation is his second in as many weeks and his third overall this season. With both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) out last Sunday versus Denver, McCormick logged eight offensive snaps and carried six times for 33 yards. White has been ruled out again this week, but Mattison is questionable to play, and if the latter suits up McCormick could see even fewer opportunities to take the field Friday.
