Raiders Claim Harper and Laulu Off Waivers

The Las Vegas Raiders have bolstered their roster by claiming defensive back Thomas Harper from the Los Angeles Chargers and defensive tackle Jonah Laulu from the Indianapolis Colts off waivers. Harper, who had an impressive final season at Notre Dame, brings versatility to the Raiders' secondary. Laulu, a Las Vegas native and Centennial High School product, joins the team after being selected in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Colts. To make room for these additions, the Raiders waived defensive tackle Byron Young and cornerback M.J. Devonshire. Despite these moves, the Raiders still have one open roster spot. These transactions follow the team's recent roster cuts to comply with the NFL's 53-man limit.
