Overview
- NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported on October 12 that the Las Vegas Raiders signed former Cleveland receiver Jamari Thrash to their practice squad.
- Thrash was waived off the Browns’ injured reserve last month, is listed as healthy, and has appeared in 18 NFL games since being drafted in the fifth round in 2024.
- Head coach Klint Kubiak said Jalen Nailor is expected to return to practice this week and Dont’e Thornton Jr. is making progress in the second week of his IR practice window, factors that will determine whether Thrash is elevated.
- A practice-squad deal gives the Raiders immediate, low-commitment depth but does not make Thrash active for games unless he is formally elevated or signed to the 53-man roster.
- The team publicly said it is weighing all options to upgrade the position and could pursue trades before the November 10 deadline, with national reporting naming several possible receiver trade candidates.
