Riley (hamstring) is active for Saturday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being limited in practice throughout the week due to a hamstring issue, Riley will suit up for Saturday's tilt. Riley, a middle linebacker, has just two games with more than five tackles this season.

Riley (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Riley has been limited after sustaining an injury in Week 14. He should play middle linebacker in a key divisional matchup against San Diego.

Riley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Riley was limited at practice throughout the week, and figures to be a true game-time decision Sunday. He presumably sustained the injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The veteran linebacker provided four tackles in the contest. Tyrell Adams and Daren Bates would presumably be in line for increased workloads providing depth at linebacker if Riley cannot go.

Riley racked up a season-high 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's win over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Riley was able to lead the Raiders in tackles Sunday after a one-game absence due to a minor hamstring injury. Usual starter Cory James was dealing with a shoulder injury, so Riley's ability to step up at middle linebacker was a key for the team's defense. At this point it's unclear if James will be able to play in Week 14, so Riley may see a similar role against the Chiefs.

Riley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Riley is set to miss his first game since joining the Raiders in October due to a hamstring issue. Cory James will continue starting at middle linebacker, but will have little depth behind him.

Riley recorded seven tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Riley led the Raiders in tackles during his first contest with the team after back-up middle linebacker Ben Heeney (undisclosed) was placed on IR earlier in the week. Riley could eventually overtake rookie Cory James as the starting middle linebacker, as James notched just two tackles (one solo) during the Week 5 victory. Although the Raiders' defense has struggled to stop opposing offenses at times throughout the season, the team will look to move to 5-1 next week against the Chiefs.

Riley signed with the Raiders on Tuesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riley was released by Washington before the beginning of the regular season after missing seven games last season due to a foot injury. In 2015, he recorded 43 tackles, three pass deflections, and two interceptions in nine games. He now heads to Oakland where he figures to compete with Ben Heeney for a reserved middle linebacker spot. Once he learns the defense, the veteran could make a run for the starting spot, which is currently held by rookie Cory James.

Riley was released by Washington on Tuesday, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Limited to nine games last season, Riley recovered from a foot injury in time for training camp, but he couldn't beat out Mason Foster for a starting job alongside Will Compton. It's unclear if Washington proposed a pay cut prior to dumping the 30-year-old Riley and his $4 million salary. Should he catch on elsewhere, it will likely be on a contract much closer to the veteran's minimum.

Riley (foot) has been activated from the Redskins' PUP list ahead of Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Riley missed the final six games of last season due to a foot injury that required surgery, causing him to start training camp on the sidelines. However, now that he's healed enough, the veteran will take the practice field Friday. Entering the last year of his current contract, Riley will compete for reps at inside linebacker with Will Compton and Mason Foster.
