Texans' Kyle Emanuel: Activated from IR
The Texans activated Emanuel (concussion) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Texans' Kyle Emanuel: Moves to injured reserve
Emanuel (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The 29-year-old hasn't been able to practice since sustaining the concussion Week 7, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. Emanuel has exclusively played special teams this season, so his absence is unlikely to affect Houston's defense.

Texans' Kyle Emanuel: Still managing injury
Emanuel (concussion) didn't suit up in Wednesday's practice.
Emanuel exited Week 7's contest against the Packers due to a head injury, and he still appears to be in concussion protocol despite having the bye week to recover. Emanuel's absence will deplete the special teams if he's forced to miss Week 9, as the veteran has seen all of his snaps on special teams this season.

Texans' Kyle Emanuel: Being evaluated for head injury
Emanuel is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
The 29-year-old was plucked from the Raiders' practice squad Oct. 13, with Sunday's matchup against Green Bay representing his second appearance as a Texan. Emanuel's absence does not impact Houston on the defensive side, though it depletes the Texans' depth on special teams after he fielded 62 percent of the snaps in that department last Sunday against Tennessee.

Raiders' Kyle Emanuel: Back with 53-man roster
The Raiders elevated Emanuel to the 53-man roster via the practice squad Sunday.
With Nick Kwiatkoski nursing a pectoral injury and unable to play in Week 3, the Raiders elected for in-house reinforcements. Emanuel has not played in the NFL since 2018, so he'll be in line for a depth role if he suits up in Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Kyle Emanuel: Cut by Las Vegas
The Raiders released Emanuel on Saturday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Emanuel linked with the Raiders late August, but he wasn't able to secure a role on the final roster during the latter portion of training camp. The veteran linebacker could garner fair interest as a free agent, though he has been out of the league since 2018.

Raiders' Kyle Emanuel: Secures deal in Las Vegas
Emanuel signed with the Raiders on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Emanuel retired after the 2018 season when he recorded 30 tackles and a sack over 16 games with the Chargers, but the 29-year-old linebacker opted to return and found a deal with his former team's rival. It's unlikely Emanuel secures a starting job in Las Vegas, but he could be a useful reserve player who contributes on special teams.

Kyle Emanuel: Decides to continue career
Emanuel has decided to resume playing in the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Emanuel announced his unexpected decision to retire from the league last April, citing mounting injuries and a focus on long-term health as factors that led to the move. Now having had the benefit of a full season on the shelf to get healthy, it looks as though the 28-year-old is ready to pick up where he left off. Emanuel accrued 147 tackles (94 solo), four sacks and two interceptions across 63 games during his first four seasons with the Chargers, and he's now expected to garner fair interest as a free agent.

Chargers' Kyle Emanuel: Good to go Sunday

Chargers' Kyle Emanuel: Questionable for Sunday
Emanuel has a hip injury and is questionable for Sunday's game at Oakland, Sam Fortier of The Athletic reports.
Emanuel hasn't missed a game since his rookie year in 2015, but he earned the questionable tag after practicing on a limited basis Thursday and not participating Friday. Uchenna Nwosu would see increased work at outside linebacker if Emanuel is unable to play Sunday.
