The Las Vegas Raiders have elevated a rookie defensive tackle from the practice squad for their Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, marking the player's third and final standard elevation of the season.

The move, reported by Raiders Wire on Saturday, November 7, 2026, allows the rookie to participate in the game without counting against the 53-man roster. Under NFL rules, a player can be elevated a maximum of three times per season before the team must sign them to the active roster or return them to the practice squad.

The Raiders face the 49ers in a cross-conference contest as both teams look to improve their standings.
