Raiders name rookie Treydan Stukes as starter at free safety
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders released an unofficial depth chart ahead of their Week 1 regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins. The roster listing names rookie defensive back Treydan Stukes as the starter at free safety. Stukes, who was selected 38th overall in the 2026 NFL draft, moves into the starting spot alongside strong safety Jeremy Chinn. This adjustment shifts veteran Isaiah Pola-Mao to a backup role after he started all 17 games for the team during the previous season. Stukes also appears on the depth chart as the backup nickel corner behind Taron Johnson. The rookie logged 10 tackles throughout the preseason, during which he was credited with two run stops and a quarterback pressure.
