The Las Vegas Raiders made some roster moves Tuesday as they promoted rookie cornerback Greedy Vance to the 53-man roster
Las Vegas released linebacker Jamin Davis to make room for Vance. They also cut kicker Greg Joseph from the practice squad.
Vance is an undrafted free agent from USC. He was elevated from the practice squad twice this season. A team can do that with a player three times in a season. So, clearly, the Raiders feel Vance is worth more playing time.

He played 13 defensive snaps against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 and he played seven defensive snaps Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Davis, a former first-round pick of the Washington Commanders, was recently promoted from the practice squad. He played in just one game, in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys and he played 13 snaps. He was a healthy scratch in the past two games.
Davis could go back to the Raiders’ practice squad if he clears waivers Wednesday, which is likely. The Raiders signed Joseph as insurance for a struggling Daniel Carlson.
If Carlson struggles down the stretch, the Raiders could still look to replace him.
