Jaguars' Nevin Lawson: Fills stat sheet
Lawson compiled four tackles (three solo), two passes defended and an interception in a 23-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Lawson stepped into a big role for the first time since he joined the Jaguars after being let go by the Raiders earlier in the season. Playing 100 percent of the snaps with Tyson Campbell (toe) out, Lawson took advantage of his opportunity and made an impact. With Campbell's status up in the air heading into the Week 7 bye, it's hard to say whether Lawson will continue to enjoy as prominent a role in Week 8 against the Seahawks.

Raiders' Nevin Lawson: Absent from injury report

Lawson missed last week's loss to the Chargers due to an illness, but he's been cleared for a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins. The veteran cornerback should return to a starting role immediately. Through 12 games, Lawson has given up 374 yards and five touchdowns in coverage.

Raiders' Nevin Lawson: Will be unavailable for TNF
Lawson (illness) is inactive for Thursday's matchup game the Chargers.
After earning his eighth start of the 2020 campaign Week 14 against the Colts, Lawson popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a reported illness. It's since been confirmed that the issue is serious enough to hand Lawson his second absence of the season, thrusting Isaiah Johnson into a more integral role at cornerback. With Damon Arnette and Johnathan Abram both inactive due to concussions, plus Jeff Heath (concussion) residing on IR, the Raiders' secondary is hurting heading into Thursday night's matchup.

Raiders' Nevin Lawson: Questionable for TNF
Lawson (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Lawson missed Wednesday's practice after falling ill. He hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but his status for Thursday's game remains in question. With cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion/neck) and safety Johnathan Abram (concussion/knee) ruled out already, the Raiders' secondary could be in tough shape if Lawson sits out, too. Amik Robertson, Isaiah Johnson and Daryl Worley are candidates to start in Lawson's place if he's inactive.

Raiders' Nevin Lawson: Suspension served
Lawson had his suspension lifted following Sunday's win over the Panthers, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Now that he sat out of Sunday's season opener, he's eligible to return for Week 2's matchup versus the Saints, but he may stick to special teams to start off.
