The Las Vegas Raiders made roster adjustments following their 22-20 win over the Houston Texans. Receiver Noah Brown was released after failing to make an impact, and cornerback Chigozie Anusiem was placed on season-ending injured reserve due to a knee injury sustained on a punt play. The moves signal the Raiders' need for improvement at receiver, as coach Klint Kubiak highlighted the struggles within the group after the recent victory. The team is expected to look for better options to enhance their depth at the position, particularly as they plan to use tight end Brock Bowers more prominently in their offense.
