Hobbs was placed on the injured reserve after he fractured his left hand in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Prior to his injury, Hobbs had a big part in the Raiders' defense, playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in two of the team's first four games. 

In five games this season, the twenty-three-year-old has 36 total tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and two passes defended.

The Raiders now have 21 days to add Hobbs to the active roster, but if he's healthy enough, he could play as soon as this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Hobbs is a former fifth-round pick by the Raiders in the 2021 NFL Draft.
