The Las Vegas Raiders were required to trim their roster to 53 players on Tuesday. They faced some harsh decisions at several positions after a training camp where Pete Carroll preached the theme of competition.
It was clear that Kolton Miller and DJ Glaze would retain their starting roles at offensive tackle, with third-round rookie Charles Grant claiming one of the two backup slots. The true competition was for the fourth and final tackle spot, which came down to a battle between Thayer Munford Jr. and Dalton Wagner.
Munford, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, held the advantage in experience as he has made 46 appearances and 18 starts over his first three seasons.
