Raiders President Calls on NFL to Investigate Alleged Misreporting of Bears’ Injuries

Las Vegas — Following their game against the Chicago Bears, the Las Vegas Raiders issued a firm stance on the transparency of pregame injury disclosures. The team’s president stated: “They had players unexpectedly take the field that we didn’t know about in advance, and this can lead to severe financial and competitive consequences. I have asked the NFL to investigate and scrutinize this to prevent it from happening.”

According to the Raiders, inconsistencies in the Bears’ public injury information directly affected tactical preparation—from personnel groupings and blitz packages to coverage assignments. The club argues that last-minute changes, if not updated in line with established procedures, can create an unfair advantage and distort competitive outcomes.

The Raiders also emphasized betting integrity. They contend that a transparent wagering ecosystem depends on consistent, public injury information; any gaps can shift betting lines and influence behavior, thereby undermining the league’s credibility.

Procedurally, the Raiders say they have filed a formal request with the NFL, asking the league to review weeklong practice-participation logs, the pregame Game Status Report, the inactives list, and the flow of information to broadcast and media partners. The organization adds that it is prepared to cooperate fully, providing documentation and timelines as needed.

The Chicago Bears, through a spokesperson, maintain that the club complied fully with the NFL’s injury-reporting policy, that all updates were timely and in the proper format, and declined to comment further while awaiting any next steps from the league.

Under current league rules, the NFL requires clubs to disclose injury information fully, accurately, and promptly to protect the integrity of competition. If violations are found, the league may impose penalties ranging from fines and personal discipline to competitive sanctions. The parties involved are expected to align timelines and reinforce reporting procedures to uphold transparency standards.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
