Under NFL practice-squad rules, a player can be elevated for three regular-season games before the team must sign him to the 53-man roster in order for him to play again.That decision suddenly carries some weight after White’s breakout performance in Week 2.White caught two passes for 24 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 20. Both catches went for touchdowns in a 26-14 Raiders victory. He has now scored twice in two games for Las Vegas after totaling just one receiving touchdown over his two seasons in Seattle.For Seahawks fans, the connection is especially notable because of the man now running the Raiders.We have elevated WR Cody White from the practice squad. pic.twitter.com/Ege9yY6fEy— Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) September 26, 2026Klint Kubiak Reunited With Cody White After Leaving SeahawksRaiders head coach Klint Kubiak knew White well before bringing him to Las Vegas.Kubiak served as Seattle’s offensive coordinator during the Seahawks’ 2025 season before taking over the Raiders, and White appeared in 10 games for Seattle that year.

His two-touchdown performance in Los Angeles helped the Raiders improve to 2-0 and drew considerable attention to a receiver who entered the year on the fringes of an NFL roster.Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Ed Graney noted that White had taken advantage of his opportunities through the Raiders’ first two games and pointed directly to his familiarity with Kubiak from their season together in Seattle.Now Kubiak is going back to White once again.Seahawks Moved On From White After Training CampWhite’s emergence comes only weeks after the Seahawks elected to move in a different direction at receiver.Seattle released White on August 30 after he competed for a depth role during training camp.
