The Las Vegas Raiders have made significant changes to their defensive tackle lineup following a loss to the Los Angeles Rams. They signed Zach Carter to the active roster while waiving Nesta Jade Silvera, a seventh-round pick from 2023.

Carter, previously with the Cincinnati Bengals, had been on the Raiders' practice squad after being waived earlier this month. In his time with the Bengals, he recorded impressive stats, including 55 tackles and a sack. Silvera, who played in all seven games this season, struggled to make an impact with only eight tackles.

The Las Vegas Raiders are facing a significant setback as star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has been placed on Injured Reserve. In response, the team has elevated Matthew Butler from the practice squad to the active roster.

Butler, drafted in 2022, has played in eight games and is eager to prove himself. Additionally, the Raiders signed Zach Carter to their practice squad, who previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals, adding depth to their defensive line.
