Raiders Sign Veteran Safety Terrell Edmunds After Lonnie Johnson Jr. Injury

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed veteran safety Terrell Edmunds to address a depth shortage following Lonnie Johnson Jr.'s injury. Edmunds, a former first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018, has experience as a full-time starter and has recently played for several teams, including the Jaguars and Steelers in 2024. His addition provides competition for backup roles behind Isaiah Pola-Mao, alongside players like Chris Smith and Hudson Clark. This move comes after the Raiders retooled their secondary under new head coach Pete Carroll, who brought in new talent such as Jeremy Chinn and Eric Stokes. Edmunds' signing could impact the roster spot of recent draft pick Trey Taylor, who has struggled with injuries and performance issues. The Raiders also waived injured wide receiver Seth Williams in a corresponding roster move.
