Las Vegas Raiders waive wide receiver Chase Roberts with injury settlement

The Las Vegas Raiders have released rookie wide receiver Chase Roberts via an injury settlement. The team previously waived the former BYU standout with an injury designation following an offseason setback that limited his ability to compete for a roster spot. Roberts cleared waivers initially, which briefly returned him to the team's control before this final transaction. The wide receiver recorded over 800 receiving yards in each of his final two seasons at the collegiate level. By accepting the injury settlement, Roberts is expected to be eligible to join another organization once he recovers from his injury. He is now a free agent as he looks to pursue playing opportunities later this season.
