Overview

• Las Vegas acquired defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV from Philadelphia for cornerback Jakorian Bennett in an uncommon preseason player-for-player trade.
• Booker has claimed a starting role and played about 61.5% of defensive snaps through three games, flashing high motor and impact plays in Patrick Graham’s scheme.
• He has seven tackles, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble and a pass deflection, plus seven hurries that rank sixth among interior linemen and eight total pressures, according to reporting.
• Bennett saw limited action in Philadelphia with 24 defensive snaps and 20 on special teams before being placed on injured reserve, which requires a minimum four-game absence.
• Early media assessments say the initial returns tilt toward the Raiders, while noting the long-term outcome depends on future availability and performance for both players.
