Las Vegas Raiders sign TE Carter Runyon, elevate DT Tim Keenan
On Nov. 7, 2026, per ESPN’s transaction log, the Las Vegas Raiders signed tight end Carter Runyon to the practice squad, released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett from the practice squad and elevated defensive tackle Tim Keenan from the practice squad. ESPN’s transaction log lists identical Runyon and Dorsett entries for Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 in the feed. The transaction page also lists the Raiders at 4-4.
The moves continued a rapid sequence of short-term roster changes involving Runyon and wide receiver Cody White earlier in the week. On Nov. 5 the Raiders waived Runyon and added Cody White to the active roster, and on Nov. 4 the team reinstated Runyon from injured reserve and released White. On Nov. 3 the Raiders signed defensive end Anthony Goodlow to the practice squad and released tackle Darian Kinnard from the practice squad. The transaction log shows the Raiders elevated Cody White from the practice squad to the active roster multiple times this season, including Sept. 12, Sept. 19 and Sept. 26.
NFL Sports Blog Take
The sequence of entries reflects active roster management across tight end, wide receiver and the defensive interior, with Runyon and White moving between injured reserve, the practice squad and the active roster. Elevating Tim Keenan provides additional depth on the defensive front while the club also added Anthony Goodlow to the practice squad earlier in the week. The duplicate entries in ESPN’s transaction feed for Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 appear in the log and suggest a feed duplication rather than separate team actions. At 4-4 on the transaction page, these moves underscore the Raiders’ emphasis on short-term flexibility and depth without indicating a single decisive roster change.
