Story summary

The Las Vegas Raiders activated wide receiver Jack Bech off injured reserve ahead of their game against the New York Jets on Sunday. Bech broke his left forearm in a September 27 game at New Orleans but has caught five passes for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games this season. He was drafted in the second round in 2025, alongside Donté Thornton, who is also expected to play after being on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury during training camp. The Raiders' receiving group, led by Tre Tucker with 29 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns this season, has struggled without consistent contributions from Bech and Thornton.
