Overview
- The Raiders released wide receiver Cody White on Wednesday to free a 53-man roster spot so they could activate tight end Carter Runyon from injured reserve.
- The NFL transaction wire listed the move as the termination of a vested veteran’s contract which lets White sign with another team immediately before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
- White produced early-season value for Las Vegas with eight catches for 112 yards and three touchdowns and regular special-teams work, but his snaps fell after Dont’e Thornton and Jack Bech returned from injured reserve.
- Runyon, an undrafted 2025 free agent who played 13 games last season and logged heavy special-teams snaps, returns to provide depth behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas.
- The timing makes a quick return to Seattle a clear possibility because of their recent receiver needs, but the Raiders could re-sign White to their practice squad if waiver mechanics or interest change.
