Raiders Finalize 53-Man Roster with Key Additions
27 Aug
Summary
- Raiders trade for QB Kenny Pickett impacts roster
- Linebacker Brennan Jackson claimed off waivers
- 17 players signed to Raiders' practice squad

On August 27, 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders finalized their 53-man roster for the upcoming NFL season. The team's trade for quarterback Kenny Pickett earlier this month played a key role in their roster decisions, as it helped keep sixth-round pick Cam Miller from making the initial 53-man roster.
However, the Raiders have ensured that Miller will continue his career with the team, as he was one of 17 players signed to the practice squad on Wednesday. The Raiders also claimed linebacker Brennan Jackson off of waivers and waived offensive lineman Thayer Munford.
Jackson, a 2024 fifth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams, had three tackles and a pass defensed during his rookie season. In addition to Miller, the Raiders signed several other players to their practice squad, including wide receivers, defensive backs, and offensive linemen.
