The Las Vegas Raiders saw their roster undergo a bit of change during their Week 8 bye. Not only did they get several key players like Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers, Maxx Crosby, Adam Butler and Isaiah Pola-Mao back from injury, but they signed wide receiver Tyler Lockett and waived Justin Shorter.
Signing Lockett didn't make much sense, as the veteran's production has dropped off significantly from last year. He caught just 7 passes for 70 yards in the first seven games of the 2025 NFL season for the Tennessee Titans, and he had a hard time getting on the field.
