Raiders Make Final Moves Down To 53 Players

August 26th, 2025 at 10:04pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

After making 18 cuts on Monday, the Raiders the following 22 moves to trim their roster down to 53-players, per a team announcement:

Waived

DT Zach Carter
RB Chris Collier
DE Jahfari Harvey
WR Shedrick Jackson
LB Matt Jones
DT Treven Ma’ae
G Atonio Mafi
RB Sincere McCormick
WR Tommy Mellott
QB Cam Miller
DE Ovie Oghoufo
TE Carter Runyon
WR Justin Shorter
OL Laki Tasi
S Trey Taylor
CB Greedy Vance
OT Dalton Wagner
S JT Woods

Released

Placed on IR (designated for return)

S Lonnie Johnson

Backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell is projected to be out for six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery for a fractured wrist, but curiously, he will not land on injured reserve with a return designation. The Raiders may be waiting to make that move in case they need to open up a roster spot for a waiver claim, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review Journal. Las Vegas also kept offensive tackle Thayer Munford, who was a risk to get claimed on waivers, according to Bonsignore.

Despite a pre-draft endorsement from Tom Brady and O’Connell’s injury, Miller was unable to hang on the 53-man roster as a third-string quarterback. The Raiders will need a backup quarterback to start the year, and Miller is an obvious candidate to return to the practice squad for early-season elevations as O’Connell heals. They could also scour the waiver wire and then transfer O’Connell to the IR.

Johnson suffered a broken fibula in early August, but it was not expected to end his season. His designation to return confirms that projection, but he will still be sidelined for a minimum of four games to start the year.
