What happened: The Raiders released DT Benito Jones as a corresponding transaction after signing WR Noah Brown, who was let go by the Cowboys. Jones had been working in Las Vegas' first-team defensive rotation through camp.

Why it matters: The move signals Las Vegas prioritizing receiver depth over defensive line bodies as the 2026 preseason roster takes shape. Jones was signed in May to bolster the defensive line, making his release a notable reversal just three months later.

What to watch: Watch for how the Raiders redistribute defensive line reps as they trim toward their initial 53-man roster.
