Several players join Las Vegas Raiders practice squad after final roster cuts

The Las Vegas Raiders finalized their 53-man roster this week, leading to several notable players moving to the practice squad after missing the initial cut. Defensive end Cian Slone, defensive back Greedy Vance, interior offensive lineman Will Putnam, linebacker Segun Olubi, and defensive tackles Brandon Cleveland and Gary Smith III were among those not retained for the active roster. Roster management decisions were heavily influenced by positional depth and specific training camp performances, including the late addition of Foley Fatukasi. While these players missed the primary roster, they have since joined the practice squad. They remain available for potential promotion to the active roster during the regular season should injuries or performance gaps arise at their respective positions. The team opted for leaner depth at certain spots, such as linebacker, where they carried only four players initially.
