Signs contract with Chiefs
The Chiefs signed Arnette to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Arnette joined the Dolphins practice squad in mid-December after being waived by the Raiders in early November, but he failed to appear in any games with the team before the end of the season. The former first-round pick will now join the Chiefs for the 2022 campaign while still looking to secure his first career interception.

Joins Miami's practice squad
The Dolphins signed Arnette (groin) to the practice squad Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Arnette was waived by the Raiders back in November while dealing with a groin injury, but it now appears that he's back to full health. The 2020 first-round pick only ever established himself as a reserve option in Las Vegas' secondary, but he will now get a chance to progress in his development with Miami's coaching staff.

Gets waived Monday
Arnette (groin) was waived Monday by the Raiders, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Arnette has been on IR since Oct. 9 after suffering a groin injury Week 4 against the Chargers. The 2020 first-round selection has missed numerous games since being drafted and had yet to establish himself as anything more than a depth piece in the secondary. Arnette will now look to establish himself elsewhere.

Injures groin Monday
Arnette picked up a groin injury during Monday's road contest versus the Chargers and will not return, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Arnette joins Trayvon Mullen (foot) in what is becoming an increasingly banged-up group of cornerbacks for the Raiders. Casey Hayward, Nate Hobbs and Amik Robertson are the only healthy members on the active roster.

Cleared for Week 1
Arnette (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: The team didn't expect Arnette's injury to be serious, and Thursday's news essentially confirms that he'll be ready for Monday's season opener against the Ravens. However, the 2020 first-round pick's role is still to be determined, as Trayvon Mullen and Casey Hayward appear to be the team's starting cornerbacks for Week 1.

Dealing with minor injury
Arnette (undisclosed) is "nicked up," but the injury appears minor, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Arnette's path to consistent playing time took a hit when the Raiders acquired Casey Hayward in free agency. The 2020 first-round pick now suffers another setback as he deals with a minor injury.

May have limited role
Arnette could have a limited role on defense after the addition of free-agent CB Casey Hayward, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Head coach Jon Gruden has already stated that Hayward's addition will bring "day-to-day consistency" to the secondary, so he's the presumptive starter opposite Trayvon Mullen. There have been rumblings that either Hayward or Mullen could move to the slot, but both players stayed on the outside during minicamp. Arnette -- a first-round pick in 2020 -- could have an opportunity to prove himself in the slot because veteran Nevin Lawson is suspended for the first two games of the 2021 season.…read more

Questionable to return
Arnette exited Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a neck injury, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Arnette has missed a handful of games for Raiders after battling various injuries this season. The cornerback has suffered a neck injury as well and is listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. With Trayvon Mullen returning to the matchup, hopefully the secondary will not struggle as much.

Able to practice Tuesday
Arnette (concussion/neck) practiced on a limited basis Tuesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Arnette has missed the last two games with a concussion that is also accompanied by a neck injury. His return to practice is a step in the right direction, and Arnette will hope to rejoin the struggling Raiders secondary for Saturday's game against Miami.

Not ready to return
Arnette (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arnette will sit out for the second game in a row since aggravating his concussion in Week 13 against the Jets. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 16 against Miami. Nevin Lawson is expected to start opposite Trayvon Mullen in Arnette's absence.

Won't play against Indy
Arnette (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arnette suffered a concussion in Week 12, then aggravated the injury on the Raiders' second defensive play against the Jets. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before his team's Week 15 matchup against the Chargers to be eligible to play. That could be difficult with the game taking place Thursday.

Done for day with head injury
Arnette (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Analysis: The rookie first-rounder sustained a concussion and neck injury during the Raiders' Week 12 loss to Atlanta, but he was cleared for Sunday's game after logging a full practice session Friday. Arnette went down early against New York, exiting after assisting on a tackle of Frank Gore on the Jets' second play from scrimmage. The 24-year-old will have to clear league concussion protocol if he is to be available for a Week 14 matchup against the Colts. Two head injuries in quick succession render…read more

Leaves Sunday's game
Arnette exited Sunday's game against the Jets to be evaluated for a concussion.
Analysis: The 24-year-old suffered a concussion last week against the Falcons, but he was cleared for Sunday's contest only to leave in the opening minutes. Arnette is officially questionable to return, but the team figures to be extra cautious given the circumstances.

Ready for Week 13
Arnette (concussion/neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: The 24-year-old began the week not practicing due to the concussion and neck issues, but he was able to progress to full participation Friday. Arnette could have an expanded role Sunday if Trayvon Mullen (illness) is unable to play.

Upgrades to limited practice
Arnette (concussion/neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arnette couldn't practice in any capacity, so his current limited activity represents a step in the right direction. He'll need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before being allowed to suit up, however, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is still unclear.

Misses practice Wednesday
Arnette (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: It was confirmed last Sunday that Arnette suffered a concussion in the loss to the Falcons, so this news affirms the 2020 first-round pick is still in the league's concussion protocol. At this point, Arnette's chances to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jets are murky at best, as he'll need to clear concussion protocol. If Arnette was forced to miss Week 13, Amik Robertson and Keisean Nixon would be in line for an increased snap count.

Concussion confirmed
Arnette is in the concussion protocol and won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Arnette exited Sunday's game against the Falcons to be evaluated for a concussion, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was sent off the field by the officials during the first quarter in order to check if he sustained a concussion. Amik Robertson and Isaiah Johnson could have increased defensive roles if Arnette is unable to return.

Logs full Thanksgiving practice
Arnette (illness) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie cornerback was ailing from an illness and unable to log any practice participation Wednesday, but he's quickly returned to a full workload. Arnette has already been marred by injury in 2020, missing five games between October and November due to a thumb issue. Barring a setback in regards to his recent illness, it appears he is in line for his sixth appearance of 2020 Sunday against the Falcons.

Not practicing Wednesday
Arnette didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
Analysis: The 24-year-old played 91 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but he's now dealing with an illness. Arnette's status for this weekend should receive additional clarity after Thursday's and Friday's practice sessions.

Returning to action Sunday
Arnette (thumb) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The rookie first-round pick will play Sunday against the Broncos, and he should continue to handle major responsibility in the secondary. Arnette played at least 72 percent of the defensive snaps in every game before the injury, but there were some growing pains in coverage, as he allowed 10.0 yards per target and a 108.3 passer rating.

Analysis: Coach Jon Gruden hinted at the 24-year-old's return Wednesday, saying that he was hopeful the 2020 first-round pick could resume practice Thursday. An exact date as to when Arnette may return to game action has not been confirmed, though he could soon be back in the lineup with this recent transaction and has at least resumed practice activity. The Ohio State product's last appearance came in Week 3, and if able to return within the NFL's mandated 21-day window, he would provide a boost to the…read more

Hoping to practice Thursday
Coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday that he's hopeful Arnette (thumb) will be able to resume practicing Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arnette has yet to be officially activated for a return from IR, but it looks like such a transaction could be imminent. The rookie first-round pick hasn't suited up since Week 3, after having undergone thumb surgery early October. Once back to full health, Arnette figures to slot back into Las Vegas' secondary as an immediate starter.

May return soon
Arnette (thumb) is visiting a specialist in Houston to determine whether it's possible to return for Week 9, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old underwent thumb surgery at the start of October and was expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, but it appears his recovery has gone better than expected. Arnette has yet to be designated to return from injured reserve, but if all goes well with the specialist, he figures to receive the designation and be back at practice this week.

Clears COVID-19 protocols
Arnette (thumb) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday but remains on injured reserve, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Arnette has cleared the necessary protocols to return to the team's facilities, but he's still rehabbing from early October thumb surgery and isn't expected to shift to the active roster until late November. Nevin Lawson and Trayvon Mullen started at cornerback last week against the Buccaneers and are expected to maintain those roles until Arnette returns.

Shifts to COVID list
Arnette (thumb) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Arnette was already on injured reserve following an October thumb surgery. The rookie cornerback either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person, and he won't be able to return to team activities until he clears the NFL's COVID-19 protocols.

Shifts to IR
The Raiders placed Arnette (thumb) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: Arnette will be eligible to return to the lineup in Week 7 against the Buccaneers, but he's expected to need 6-to-8 weeks following thumb surgery. The rookie first-rounder was an immediate starter for the Raiders and compiled 13 tackles and a pass breakup through three games, but for the time being, Amik Robertson and Keisean Nixon will likely both see an uptick in usage behind starters Trayvon Mullen and Lamarcus Joyner.

Set to go on IR
Coach Jon Gruden said Arnette (thumb) will need to be placed on IR, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Analysis: While Arnette hasn't officially been placed on IR yet, this news comes as no surprise given his expected recovery time of 6-to-8 weeks. When he goes on IR, Arnette will need to miss a minimum of three weeks, so the earliest we could see the rookie first-rounder again will be Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Likely out 6-to-8 weeks
Arnette has undergone thumb surgery and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, NBC Sports California reports.
Analysis: Arnette aggravated a thumb fracture during Week 3's loss to the Patriots, and it now looks as though he'll need to sit out until mid-November while recovering. As such, the Raiders stand to place the rookie No. 19 overall pick on IR. Lamarcus Joyner, Amik Robertson and Nevin Lawson (ankle) are candidates to handle increased snaps while Arnette is sidelined.

Leaves game Sunday
Arnette (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: It's unclear how the 2020 first-round pick suffered the injury, but it's serious enough to force him to miss game time. As long as Arnette is sidelined, look for Lamarcus Joyner and Keisean Nixon to see increased snaps.

Arnette racked up seven solo tackles in Sunday's 34-24 victory over the Saints.
Analysis: Arnette and the rest of Las Vegas' defensive backs did an admirable job against Drew Brees and the Saints passing game, holding them in check for most of the game.

Notches five tackles in NFL debut
Arnette recorded five tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Rebounding from a broken thumb suffered late in training camp, Arnette earned the start at cornerback in his NFL debut across from Trayvon Mullen. Arnette got burned on what turned into a 75-yard touchdown catch for Panthers receiver Robby Anderson, but the former otherwise appeared competent enough to retain the starting role heading into a Week 2 contest against the Saints.

Managing broken thumb
Arnette was seen with a soft cast during Wednesday's practice after he suffered a fracture in his thumb, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick is no stranger to playing through injury, as he played through the entire 2019 collegiate season for Ohio State with a broken right wrist. Arnette was seen in high spirits during practice Wednesday, and appears ready to play through the injury, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It's still too early to tell if the injury will force him to miss Week 1 of the regular season.
