As rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been getting adjusted to being an NFL starter, he's had a strong No. 1 receiving option to lean on with Courtland Sutton.
Sutton, now in his seventh season with the Broncos, was one of the league's top red-zone threats last season, scoring 10 touchdowns. Coming into Week 5, he had a team-leading 192 receiving yards.
However, Sutton was quiet against the Raiders in the first half Sunday.
Here's what to know about Sutton's status in Week 5, if he's dealing with any injuries and his stats in the first half.

Is Courtland Sutton playing today?

Despite the Broncos carrying a three-point lead into halftime, their leading receiver was quiet to begin Week 5.

There haven't been any indications or reports that Sutton is currently dealing with an injury.
While he wasn't able to play a significant role in the Broncos' offense in the first half, Sutton has been on the field.
Courtland Sutton stats vs. Raiders
At halftime, Sutton had no catches but did register three targets from Nix.
He actually ranked second on the team in targets behind Williams, who had six, so Sutton's quiet box score isn't a product of Nix choosing not to throw the receiver's way.
Sutton's lowest reception total so far this season was one, which came in Week 2 vs. the Steelers. He'll look to get on the board in the second half vs. the Raiders.
