The Las Vegas Raiders have waived tight end Carter Runyon just one day after activating him from injured reserve, according to a report from Heavy.com on Friday.
Runyon, a young player at the tight end position, had been on the team's injured reserve list before being activated to the active roster. The quick turnaround suggests the Raiders made a rapid evaluation of his readiness or roster fit following his return to practice.
The transaction leaves Runyon subject to waivers, where other NFL teams will have the opportunity to claim him. If he clears waivers, he would become a free agent eligible to sign with any team, including a potential return to the Raiders' practice squad.
The move comes as the Raiders continue to manage their roster depth at tight end during the 2026 NFL season.
