HENDERSON, Nev. – The Las Vegas Raiders have signed TE Carter Runyon to the active roster from the practice squad, signed free agent T Leroy Watson IV to the practice squad and placed T Kolton Miller to the Reserve/Injured list, the club announced Tuesday.
Watson IV, a third-year tackle, joins the Raiders after spending the 2024 season with the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings. Watson was traded to Tennessee from the Cleveland Browns in the offseason and started in four games at right tackle with the Titans before finishing the season on the Vikings practice squad.
Prior to being traded to Tennessee, Watson played in seven regular season games and one postseason contest with Cleveland in 2023 after being signed to the Browns active roster off of the San Francisco 49ers practice squad midway through the season.
The 6-4, 311-pound tackle entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons in 2022, where he spent the training camp with the team before being waived and signed to the San Francsico 49ers practice squad for the entirety of the 2022 season.
Watson, a Snellville, Ga. native, played tight end for three seasons (2019-21) at the University of Texas-San Antonio, seeing action in 37 games (34 starts) and finishing with 25 catches for 297 yards and two touchdowns. Prior to UTSA, Watson played two seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College.
