Raiders Sign Veteran Safety Terrell Edmunds After Injury

The Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran safety Terrell Edmunds on a one-year deal to bolster their defensive backfield following an injury to Lonnie Johnson Jr., who suffered a broken fibula. Edmunds, a former first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018, brings extensive NFL experience with 101 career games, 79 starts, and notable defensive stats including over 450 tackles and six interceptions. After spending the 2024 season with the Jaguars and Steelers, Edmunds joins the Raiders to provide depth behind starters Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn. The signing follows the Raiders’ efforts to improve their tackling and overall defense, an area of concern after a poor showing in preseason games. To make room for Edmunds, the Raiders waived wide receiver Seth Williams with an injury designation. Edmunds will compete for a roster spot in a secondary that has seen significant turnover and needs veteran stability.
