The Raiders have officially set their first 53-man roster under head coach Klint Kubiak. Las Vegas waived quarterback Jacob Clark, defensive tackle Brandon Cleveland, offensive lineman Braeden Daniels, long snapper Tyler Duzansky, tight end Patrick Gurd, defensive end Jahfari Harvey, running back Roman Hemby, offensive tackle Niklas Henning, receiver Shedrick Jackson, offensive tackle Isaiah Jatta, safety Devin Lafayette, defensive tackle Treven Ma’ae, kicker Kansei Matsuzawa, offensive tackle Kamar Missouri, cornerback Caleb Offord, cornerback Devyn Perkins, center Will Putnam, defensive end Cian Slone, linebacker Zavian Sorey Jr., defensive tackle Gary Smith III, cornerback Greedy Vance, offensive tackle Dalton Wagner, and receiver E.J. Williams. The Raiders released receiver Phillip Dorsett, receiver Brandon Johnson, linebacker Buddy Johnson, linebacker Cameron McGrone, tight end Chris Myarick, running back Dare Ogunbowale, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam Jr., linebacker Segun Olubi, and receiver Deven Thompkins. Receiver Chase Roberts has been waived with an injury designation. Finally, defensive end Keyon Crawford and tight end Carter Runyon were both placed on injured reserve. But Runyon has been designated to return, which means he’ll be eligible to play in Week 5
As expected, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft has landed at No. 2 on the first 2026 Raiders depth chart . The preliminary configuration of players has been released. Fernando Mendoza is listed as the backup to Kirk Cousins at the quarterback position. The third quarterback is Aidan O’Connell, who has 17 starts in three seasons with the team. Jacob Clark, an undrafted rookie from Missouri State, is listed as the fourth-string quarterback. The Raiders seem to be intent on starting the season with Cousins under center, and to not having a true competition between Cousins and Mendoza. It’s an approach that cuts against the modern approach of getting highly-drafted quarterbacks ready and putting them on the field, if only to give them the reps that will help the game slow down for them sooner rather than later. The initial Las Vegas depth chart contains no real surprises. If Mendoza isn’t playing by the end of the 2026 season, that will be a major surprise. The overriding question is whether the Raiders have enough talent to compete in a top-heavy AFC West. On paper, they don’t. It will be up to them to defy that once the real games begin
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak has declared Kirk Cousins the starting quarterback for Week 1, emphasizing his strong performance in the spring and his deservingness of first-team reps. While Cousins is firmly entrenched as the starter, Kubiak also expects Fernando Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell to compete and push him during training camp, highlighting the importance of their development and how they handle adversity
