Trey

Ragas

Ragas signed with the Raiders as a UDFA last season and hung around on the team’s practice squad for the 2021 season. He saw one call-up ahead of a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs but was released by the team last May shortly after the team drafted Zamir White from Georgia. Likely nothing more than a camp body at this point, Ragas will hope to impress enough to earn a spot on the Rams’ practice squad ahead of this season.

This could point to the Raiders planning on playing their Monday Night Football matchup against the Ravens without Josh Jacobs, who is dealing with an illness. Ragas was a productive runner at Louisiana before signing with the Raiders as a UDFA in the spring. Kenyan Drake will get a sizable boost in opportunities if Jacobs isn’t unable to suit up.

The Raiders placed Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick on the reserve/COVID-19 list today as well, leaving them thin at running back. Josh Jacobs, Trey Ragas, and Garrett Groshek are their only remaining backs. Ragas and Groshek were UDFA signings for Vegas this spring. Drake was seen working with a trainer on the sideline at training camp but was not a participant in any drills. He will be eligible to return to practice after receiving medical clearance.
