Las Vegas Raiders Add Two to Practice Squad
The Las Vegas Raiders made two more roster moves going into their Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills.
The Raiders announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday they have signed offensive tackle Sebastian Gutierrez and cornerback Troy Pride Jr. to the practice squad.
Gutierrez enters his second stint with Las Vegas, as the 25-year-old tackle served on the team's practice squad for about two-thirds of last season.
After being released from the New England Patriots' practice squad in October of 2022, where he spent less than one week, Gutierrez was signed to the Raiders practice squad.
Gutierrez was elevated to the active roster three times and even saw action in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, taking the field for two special teams snaps.
Despite signing him to a reserve/future contract in early January, the Raiders would waive Gutierrez in May. He was then signed by the Kansas City Chiefs, who waived him at the end of this year's training camp.
Gutierrez came into the league in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent out of Minot State and was signed by the Denver Broncos, who would waive him as part of its 53-man roster narrowing that August.
Pride, meanwhile, started his career with the Carolina Panthers, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame.
He made eight starts in 14 appearances for the Panthers in his rookie season, finishing with 42 combined tackles, one for a loss and two passes defensed.
Pride was then placed on injured reserve after sustaining a knee injury in the 2021 preseason. After not passing his physical, he would be waived by Carolina in May of 2022.
Pride would not be on an NFL team all of last season.
The cornerback signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints in January but was released by the club as part of end-of-training-camp roster cuts.
The Silver and Black remain on the road this week as they travel to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 17, at 1:05 p.m. EDT/10:05 a.m. PDT.
