Overview
- On Monday the Raiders moved Cody White back to the practice squad despite his two touchdown catches in the Week 2 win over the Chargers.
- White has produced game‑changing plays in consecutive weeks, including a touchdown‑saving special‑teams tackle in Week 1 and two go‑ahead or game‑sealing TDs in Week 2 that doubled his career touchdown total.
- The Raiders signed White to their practice squad on Sept. 1 after coach Klint Kubiak brought him over from Seattle, where the two had worked together, and Kubiak has repeatedly elevated him since.
- NFL practice‑squad rules let any club sign a practice‑squad player to its active roster and limit how many times a team can temporarily elevate a player, which gives Las Vegas only one more temporary elevation for White before a roster move is required.
- The decision matters for the Raiders’ short‑term depth and team morale because Las Vegas is 2‑0 and fans and media are urging the club to protect a player who has directly affected two wins; the next steps to watch are whether the team signs him to the 53‑man roster or risks another club poaching him.
