Raiders place Chigozie Anusiem on reserve/injured list after leg injury

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on August 23, 2026, that cornerback Chigozie Anusiem has been placed on the reserve/injured list after suffering a leg injury during a preseason game against the Houston Texans on August 20. Anusiem, who was primarily a special teams player and joined the team's active roster in December 2025, will miss the entire season. His absence leaves the Raiders needing to find additional depth at cornerback for their final preseason matchup. Young cornerbacks on the roster may see increased playing time as the team looks to fill the gap left by Anusiem's injury.
