SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Las Vegas Raiders announced the addition of former Utah State safety Dallin Leavitt to the team’s 53-man active roster ahead of week four of the 2020 NFL season.
Leavitt was officially promoted from the Raiders’ practice squad on Friday, October 2.
After spending the opening week of the NFL season on the active roster for Las Vegas, Leavitt was waived and signed to the organization’s practice squad in order to make room on the 53-man roster for fellow USU product Nevin Lawson.
We have signed S Dallin Leavitt to the active roster from the practice squad and added DE Breeland Speaks to the practice squad.
In a corresponding move, we have placed Damon Arnette and Daniel Ross on the Reserve/Injured List. More » https://t.co/7ikys0Kf2M pic.twitter.com/afjBlC3VI5
