The Las Vegas Raiders have released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, a former first-round draft pick, to create roster space for a tight end addition, according to reports on November 7, 2026.

Dorsett, who was selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, joined the Raiders earlier this season but saw limited playing time. The move signals the team's intention to address depth at the tight end position.

The Raiders have not yet announced the corresponding signing, but the transaction reflects ongoing roster adjustments as the team navigates the 2026 campaign.
