The Las Vegas Raiders are officially set at 53 players.

On Wednesday, teams will be able to claim players off of waivers and set their initial practice squads, meaning this will not be the last fans see of some of these players.  It is also expected that some of them will make the leap to the active roster at some point during the season, especially if injuries strike again.

Here is the last round of cuts.

Safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. has been placed on injured reserve, but is designated to return.

The Raiders have released wide receiver Alex Bachman, safety Terrell Edmunds and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam.

Finally, the Raiders have waived 18 players:

  • DT Zach Carter
  • RB Chris Collier
  • DE Jahfari Harvey
  • WR Shedrick Jackson
  • LB Matt Jones
  • DT Treven Ma’ae
  • G Atonio Mafi
  • RB Sincere McCormick
  • WR Tommy Mellott
  • QB Cam Miller
  • DE Ovie Oghoufo
  • TE Carter Runyon
  • WR Justin Shorter
  • G Laki Tasi
  • S Trey Taylor
  • CB Greedy Vance
  • OT Dalton Wagner
  • S JT Woods

The Raiders have released a positional breakdown of their initial 53-man roster, which can be found here.
