Only one catch in finale
Doss caught one of his five targets for eight yards in the 13-12 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Doss had been on the Chargers' practice squad for a few years, and the 27-year-old finally got a chance to play thanks to injuries to Mike Williams (knee), Joshua Palmer (knee) and Keenan Allen (heel). It's entirely possible the wideout, who made his NFL debut in 2019, enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Prominent role in loss
Doss caught five of his eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: With Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) sidelined, Doss found a prominent role in a passing attack that struggled to create chunk plays. Despite the health of 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston, both Alex Erickson and Doss, two practice-squad castoffs at various points this season, combined to represent easily Easton Stick's two favorite targets. It remains to be seen if the aforementioned injured targets will play in the team's finale next week.

Signed to active roster
The Chargers signed Doss from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Doss had already been elevated by Los Angeles three times this season, so it was necessary for the team to sign him to the active roster in order for the wideout to suit up this week. He's played just 17 offensive snaps over his three appearances this season and has yet to draw a target or record any stats. Doss could see a slight uptick in opportunity Sunday in Denver, with Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both ruled out, but he's not likely to be a major factor in the…read more

Doss reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Doss played three offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs but failed to record any stats. The 27-year-old has now played in three games this season and could be elevated again next week versus the Bears, as the Chargers only have five healthy receivers on the active roster.

Heads back to practice squad
Doss reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: In his second appearance of the 2023 campaign, Doss played 10 offensive snaps but failed to draw a target. The Chargers will be able to burn one more standard elevation on Doss before they'd have to sign him to the active roster for him to be eligible to suit up.

Cut by Chargers
Doss did not make the Chargers' 53-man roster and was waived by the team Tuesday.
Analysis: Doss spent his first two seasons bouncing back and forth between the Raiders practice squad and active roster. He subsequently spent time on the practice squads of the Falcons, Jets, Giants and most recently the Chargers in 2022. It looks like he is trending toward that role again in the upcoming season, but Los Angeles will need to make him that offer first.

Let go by Falcons

Moves up to active roster
Doss was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Raiders have three WRs either out or listed as doubtful for Sunday, so it makes sense to see Doss up on the active roster. He presumably will be fourth on the depth chart provided Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) is unable to play.

Locks down practice squad spot
Doss signed with the Raiders' practice squad Sunday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Doss played eight games with the Raiders last season and recorded 11 catches for 133 yards. The team brought in reinforcements at wide receiver this offseason, and Doss failed to beat out Rico Gafford for the No. 6 WR role in Las Vegas. Doss will continue to develop on the practice squad while waiting for a potential spot to open up on the active roster.

Waived by Raiders
The Raiders waived Doss on Saturday.
Analysis: Despite averaging 23.3 snaps per game over eight contests with the Raiders last year, Doss was cut by the team to start the 2020 season. Since he has experience with the Raiders, he could stick around as a practice squad member.

Inks ERFA tender
Doss officially signed his contract tender with the Raiders on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Raiders tendered the 24-year-old as an exclusive rights free agent in March, so it was only a matter of time before he put pen to paper. Doss appeared in eight games as an undrafted rookie and caught 11 of 14 targets for 133 yards.

Analysis: The 23-year-old caught 11 passes for 133 yards as an undrafted rookie in 2019, so it's not a major surprise to see the team tender him a contract as an exclusive rights free agent. Doss figures to be a practice-squad candidate while fighting for a roster spot in training camp.

Gathers 11 receptions as undrafted rookie
Doss, who was a healthy scratch for the Raiders' last two games, finishes the 2019 campaign with 11 receptions for 133 yards on 14 targets in eight contests.
Analysis: Doss caught a collective five passes for 54 yards while logging at least 28 offensive snaps in each game from Week 13 to Week 15, but he was somewhat surprisingly demoted to inactive status against the Chargers and Broncos to end the season on a sour note. The undrafted rookie could be a practice squad candidate in 2020, although Oakland still has question marks at receiver behind Tyrell Williams (foot) and Hunter Renfrow.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Doss (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It will be the second straight game that Doss is a healthy scratch, which is surprising after he caught five of six targets for 54 yards over his past three games prior. With the undrafted rookie sidelined, Rico Gafford appears likely again to see an uptick in depth receiver snaps.

Won't play Sunday
Doss (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Myles Simmons of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: This news is somewhat surprising given the fact that Doss has been active in the passing game, nabbing five of six targets for 54 yards in his past three games. With the undrafted rookie sidelined, look for an uptick in depth snaps for Rico Gafford and Marcell Ateman.

Makes one catch Sunday
Doss caught one of two targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Doss played 35 offensive snaps -- his highest workload since Week 5 -- since Hunter Renfrow (ribs) was out of the lineup. Doss -- an undrafted rookie -- has produced just 11 receptions for 133 yards over eight games this season, and he figures to lose reps in Week 16 against the Chargers with Renfrow expected to return.

Three-catch performance in loss
Doss caught three passes on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Doss tied his season high with three receptions in Week 14, but quarterback Derek Carr continues to favor his tight ends and running backs in the aerial attack. Doss' snap count could take a hit in Week 15 against the Jaguars if fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow (ribs) is able to return.
