Done for day
Pola-Mao (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Pola-Mao suffered a shoulder injury late in the second quarter, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. In his absence, Tristin McCollum is the top candidate to handle the lion's share of the workload at free safety versus Kansas City.

Low output in Week 10 loss
Pola-Mao logged three tackles (one solo) during the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.
Analysis: Pola-Mao played every single defensive snap for the eighth time this season, but his three stops matched a season low. The fourth-year pro has accumulated 51 tackles (32 solo) and three pass defenses (two interceptions) through nine regular-season games. Pola-Mao will look for a bigger game in Week 11 against the Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 17.

Set to face Broncos
Pola-Mao (hip) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Pola-Mao was a limited participant in the Raiders' walkthroughs in preparation for Thursday's game. That will be enough for him to suit up, and he should play nearly every defensive snap while carrying strong IDP value.

Questionable for TNF
Pola-Mao (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Pola-Mao was listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday (which was a walkthrough) due to a hip issue, and his status for Thursday's game may not be known until the Raiders announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Tristin McCollum would likely start alongside Jeremy Chinn at safety if Pola-Mao is not cleared to play Week 10.

Limited in practice Tuesday
Pola-Mao (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pola-Mao popped up on the injury report once again this week, but this time with a different injury. The former USC Trojan was dealing with a knee and ankle injury last week, but now has a hip problem. He was estimated to be a full participant in Monday's walkthrough, so the downgrade in status isn't a great sign for a short week.

Cleared for Week 9
Pola-Mao does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Pola-Mao was limited in practice Thursday with knee and ankle injuries. However, he logged full sessions Wednesday and Friday and should be ready to play a key defensive role in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Working through lower-body injuries
Pola-Mao (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pola-Mao sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, and he now appears to also be working through a knee issue. He downgraded from a full participant in Wednesday's practice to a limited participant Thursday, so Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against Jacksonville on Sunday. Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Jeremy Chinn if Pola-Mao is not cleared to play Week 9.

Dealing with ankle injury
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Pola-Mao sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pola-Mao played 75 of 81 defensive snaps (92.6 percent) and finished Sunday's blowout loss with 10 tackles (eight solo). The severity of his ankle injury isn't clear, but the Raiders are on a bye for Week 8, which gives him additional time to recover and be available for Las Vegas' Week 9 clash against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2. Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Jeremy Chinn if Pola-Mao were to miss time.

Pola-Mao logged seven tackles (five solo) and one interception during Las Vegas' 20-13 win over New England on Sunday.
Analysis: Pola-Mao picked off an overthrown pass from Drake Maye intended for Stefon Diggs, which led to a Ashton Jeanty three-yard rushing touchdown five plays later.

Gets two-year extension
The Raiders signed Palo-Mao to a two-year contract extension worth up to $8.45 million Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Palo-Mao had been a restricted free agent. After starting Las Vegas' final 14 regular-season games and ending the 2024 campaign with 89 tackles (57 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles (17 appearances), Pola-Mao has successfully secured a role with the Raiders for the next two seasons.

Starts 14 games in third season
Pola-Mao finished the 2024 season with 89 tackles (57 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles across 17 games with Las Vegas.
Analysis: Undrafted out of USC in 2022, Pola-Mao appeared in 27 games for the Raiders from 2022-2023, but he mainly played on special teams. Pola-Mao got a chance to play more on defense in 2024 and started 14 of the 17 games he appeared in, logging 86 percent of the defensive snaps after recording just 12 percent of the plays on defense the previous season. Pola-Mao obviously set career highs across the board and is scheduled to be a restricted free agent in March.

Career-high 11 tackles in win
Pola-Mao racked up 11 tackles (seven solo) and two forced fumbles in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Pola-Mao's 11 tackles marked a new career high for the undrafted 25-year-old, and they were enough to pace the Raiders defense for a second straight week. The every-down safety now gets a chance to face a struggling Saints offense that just got blanked in Green Bay on Monday Night Football.

Stepping into starting role
Pola-Mao is set to transition into a starting role at safety beginning with Sunday's game against the Browns following the season-ending injury suffered by Marcus Epps (knee), Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Pola-Mao, a 2022 UDFA out of USC, is entering Year 3 with the Raiders and suited up for 16 regular-season games with the team in 2023, albeit while mostly contributing on special teams. He played more than 50 percent of defensive snaps just once last season, Week 11 versus Miami, and racked up seven tackles (four solo), one interception and one pass defensed in that contest.

Back with Raiders
The Raiders re-signed Pola-Mao on Thursday.

Snags first career pick
Pola-Mao logged seven tackles (four solo) and an interception in Las Vegas' 20-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Pola-Mao saw increased playing time with Marcus Epps (neck) exiting the game with an injury and managed to record the first interception of his career. If Epps ends up missing extended time, Pola-Mao could potentially start at safety.
