Las Vegas Raiders host 16 players for tryouts
The Las Vegas Raiders are actively seeking roster reinforcements ahead of Week 1. The team hosted 16 players for tryouts on Thursday, focusing on positions impacted by injuries and recent departures. Notable participants included veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, former top-10 pick Evan Neal, and pass rushers Azeez Ojulari, B. J. Ojulari, and David Ojabo. The tryouts also targeted offensive line depth with players such as Christian Jones and Colby Sorsdal.
In recent roster moves, the Raiders claimed defensive back Darrell Luter Jr. off waivers. Luter, who played all 17 regular-season games for the San Francisco 49ers last season, faced competition from the Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, and Indianapolis Colts. Assistant general manager Brian Stark noted that Luter’s experience and special teams capabilities made him an intriguing addition to a competitive defensive room.
