In the blink of an eye, the Las Vegas Raiders' three-game preseason slate is now over. Weeks still separate the Silver and Black from opening weekend of the 2026 NFL season, but before that game against the Miami Dolphins kicks off, the Raiders have some serious housekeeping to do.
With the knowledge that training camp and three exhibition contests provided, John Spytek and the front office will now join forces with Klint Kubiak and the coaching staff to cut this roster from 89 players all the way down to just 53. It will be an emotional and action-packed few days.
The deadline to make roster cuts is on Sunday, August 30 at 3:00 p.m. PT, so things won't be official until then. To make sure that you catch every development, from live updates to key analysis, BOOKMARK THIS PAGE and check back periodically throughout the weekend for the latest news.

Cedric Tillman, WR
The Raiders need wide receiver help, and Tillman could fit the bill. He has three years of experience and is a big-bodied, versatile player with 71 catches for 833 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons. He may not be a difference-maker, but Tillman could improve the bottom of this group.
