Fresh workout + recognizable veteran + possible camp signing + unresolved roster decision
The Las Vegas Raiders are evaluating veteran backfield depth after hosting free-agent running back Miles Sanders for a workout. ESPN reported that Sanders is fully cleared after knee surgery ended his 2025 season. The former Pro Bowl selection has a proven track record, including a 1,269-yard, 11-touchdown season with Philadelphia, and could provide experience behind Ashton Jeanty. However, a workout does not guarantee a signing, and the Raiders have not announced a contract or corresponding roster move. Until Las Vegas makes a decision, Sanders' potential fit with the Raiders remains an active camp rumor.
