Raiders Release Veteran RB Dare Ogunbowale Amid Roster Cuts

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the process of trimming their roster from 90 to 53 players and have decided to release veteran running back Dare Ogunbowale.

This decision may pose challenges for the team, as Ogunbowale provided experience that the current roster lacks. The Raiders are likely to rely on Ashton Jeanty, Mike Washington Jr., and Dylan Laube as their primary running backs, with the possibility of Roman Hemby joining as a fourth option.

Combined, these players have only 274 career NFL carries, with Jeanty accounting for 266 of those. Ogunbowale, who has nine years of NFL experience, has 177 career carries and has also contributed significantly on special teams. His release could be a critical mistake for the Raiders, who currently hold the top position on the waiver wire should they seek a more experienced replacement.
