The Las Vegas Raiders activated tight end Michael Mayer from the reserve/non-football illness list on Saturday morning.
Mayer missed the Raiders’ last seven games after being placed on the list Oct. 11 due to a personal matter. He is questionable to play in Las Vegas’ game against the host Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
“The No. 1 important rule is that football’s not bigger than life. It isn’t and it never has been, at least for me. I just needed to figure some things out. That’s what I did and I’m on my feet again,” Mayer said Wednesday. “I feel great. I’m sleeping well, I’m doing all the things that I need to be doing to set myself up for success and help the team to. Whatever they ask me to do these next eight, nine, 10 weeks left, I’ma do it for ‘em.”
Mayer, 23, has four catches for 21 yards in three games this season.
He had 27 receptions for 304 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games after being selected by Las Vegas in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame.
Also on Saturday, the Raiders activated wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and center Will Putnam from the practice squad and waived wide receiver Alex Bachman.
