Alex Bachman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Rejoins Raiders' practice squad Las Vegas signed Bachman to its practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The Raiders just cut Bachman from their active roster on Saturday, but they were able to bring him back on board as a practice squadder after he cleared waivers. Las Vegas only has four healthy wideouts on its 53-man depth chart ahead of Week 12, so it might not be long before Bachman finds his way back up to the main unit.

Let go by Las Vegas The Raiders waived Bachman on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Bachman struggled to establish himself in the Raiders offense, failing to see a target in five of six regular-season games. Should he clear waivers the 28-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at wide receiver. His tenure with the Raiders will end having caught three passes for 31 yards, all of which took place in Week 6 against the Steelers.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted against Rams Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Impact Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target despite against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps. Bachman's playing time figures to drastically decrease upon Jakobi Meyers' (ankle) return to action, which could come in Week 8 versus the Chiefs.

Signed to active roster The Raiders signed Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact With Bachman already elevated from the practice squad three times this season, the Raiders opted to sign the 28-year-old wide receiver to the active roster. He could see a fair amount of work in the passing game against the Rams on Sunday after Davante Adams was traded to the Jets and with Jakobi Meyers (ankle) listed as doubtful. If Meyers doesn't play, Bachman would serve as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and Tyreik McAllister. Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Steelers.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Bachman was elevated for the third straight game Week 6 and logged 27 of Las Vegas' 63 offensive snaps in a loss against Pittsburgh. The wideout finished with his first three catches of the campaign (on three targets) for 31 yards. A player can be elevated from the practice squad only three times in a campaign, so the Raiders will need to sign Bachman to the 53-man roster if they want him to play again Week 7 versus the Rams. The likelihood of that happening could depend on whether Davante Adams (hamstring) and/or Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are able to return to game action.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches in Sunday's loss Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Bachman made his first three receptions of the season Sunday after being elevated from the practice squad for a third consecutive game, matching fellow receiver Kristian Wilkerson's 27 offensive snaps behind fill-in starters Tre Tucker and DJ Turner. However, Bachman has exhausted his three permitted practice-squad elevations for the season, so the next time he suits up on game day, he must be a member of the 53-man roster. Regardless, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) appears likely to return from his injury against the Rams in Week 7.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Third straight elevation Bachman was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Bachman has now been elevated to the active roster for three consecutive weeks. He played only one offensive snap on the first two occasions, though he could be slightly more involved as Davante Adams (hamstring) is out and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

Impact Bachman was elevated to the active roster with Davante Adams (hamstring) out of action. The Wake Forest product only saw one snap on offense, and although he handled punt return duties, only got to handle two fair catches. With Adams likely remaining out for Las Vegas, the 28-year-old may find himself back with the team for Week 6.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 5 The Raiders elevated Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Bachman will provide depth at wide receiver due to Davante Adams (hamstring) and Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) being listed as out and questionable, respectively, for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Bachman was elevated for Week 4 against the Browns, during which he played 10 snaps (one on offense, nine on special teams) and did not record a target.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back with practice squad Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Bachman was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns, recording two tackles (one solo) on kick coverage while playing nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver played one offensive snap, failing to record any stats. He'll look to earn another shot with the active roster down the road.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated ahead of Week 4 The Raiders elevated Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Bachman failed to make the Raiders' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. If he's active for Sunday's game against the Browns, he'll have a chance at seeing NFL regular-season action for the first time since 2021 when he played for the Giants.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking around in Las Vegas Bachman signed with the Raiders' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Bachman wasn't able to catch onto the Raiders' 53-man roster after catching just one pass (on two targets) for seven yards across three preseason games. He hasn't played a regular-season snap since 2021 as a member of the Giants.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't make cut Las Vegas released Bachman on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Impact Bachman had a quiet preseason, playing in all three of the Raiders' exhibition games but catching just one pass on two targets for seven yards. The wideout has yet to snag a reception during a regular-season contest and hasn't logged a snap since 2021 with the Giants. He has experience as a punt and kick returner, which could help him in his quest to make it back to an NFL roster at some point.
