Despite surpassing Trent Richardson on the depth chart, Michael Dyer couldn’t complete his ascent into regular-season action with the Raiders.

Instead, Oakland rejiggered its depth chart by bringing Taiwan Jones, a former running back, back to his original spot from corner, where he played previously. Jones now occupies the third-string spot behind Latavius Murray and Roy Helu, as the Raiders announced the waiving of Dyer and others in order to dice their roster down to 53.

In addition to severing ties with Christian Ponder, Oakland released Kris Durham and defensive lineman C.J. Wilson.

Here are the rest of Oakland’s cut-day casualties:

• George Atkinson III, RB
• Mitch Bell, G
• Spencer Hadley, LB
• Shelby Harris, DE
• Dan Kistler, T
• Brian Leonhardt, TE
• Ricky Lumpkin, DT
• Tevin McDonald, CB
• Anthony Morris, T (Waived/injured)
• Leon Orr, DT
• Brandian Ross, S (IR)
• Josh Shirley, LB
• Georgio Tavecchio, K
• Max Valles, DE
• Gary Wilkins, DE
• Devon Wylie, WR
