Bachman will be sidelined for the second time this season, though this time its as a healthy scratch rather than due to injury.

The Raiders released Bachman on Tuesday.

Bachman spent most of the 2024 season on the Raiders' practice squad, though he did play in six regular-season games. He entered training camp gunning for a spot on the 53-man roster but wasn't able to separate himself from the competition, finishing with four catches (on seven targets) for 51 yards across three preseason games.

Las Vegas signed Bachman to its practice squad Tuesday.

The Raiders just cut Bachman from their active roster on Saturday, but they were able to bring him back on board as a practice squadder after he cleared waivers. Las Vegas only has four healthy wideouts on its 53-man depth chart ahead of Week 12, so it might not be long before Bachman finds his way back up to the main unit.

The Raiders waived Bachman on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bachman struggled to establish himself in the Raiders offense, failing to see a target in five of six regular-season games.

His tenure with the Raiders will end having caught three passes for 31 yards, all of which took place in Week 6 against the Steelers.

Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target despite against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps.

The Raiders signed Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Bachman already elevated from the practice squad three times this season, the Raiders opted to sign the 28-year-old wide receiver to the active roster. He could see a fair amount of work in the passing game against the Rams on Sunday after Davante Adams was traded to the Jets and with Jakobi Meyers (ankle) listed as doubtful. If Meyers doesn't play, Bachman would serve as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and Tyreik McAllister. Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Steelers.

Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bachman was elevated for the third straight game Week 6 and logged 27 of Las Vegas' 63 offensive snaps in a loss against Pittsburgh. The wideout finished with his first three catches of the campaign (on three targets) for 31 yards. A player can be elevated from the practice squad only three times in a campaign, so the Raiders will need to sign Bachman to the 53-man roster if they want him to play again Week 7 versus the Rams. The likelihood of that happening could depend on whether Davante Adams (hamstring) and/or Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are able to return to game action.

Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.

Bachman made his first three receptions of the season Sunday after being elevated from the practice squad for a third consecutive game, matching fellow receiver Kristian Wilkerson's 27 offensive snaps behind fill-in starters Tre Tucker and DJ Turner. However, Bachman has exhausted his three permitted practice-squad elevations for the season, so the next time he suits up on game day, he must be a member of the 53-man roster. Regardless, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) appears likely to return from his injury against the Rams in Week 7.

Bachman was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

Bachman was elevated to the active roster with Davante Adams (hamstring) out of action.

With Adams likely remaining out for Las Vegas, the 28-year-old may find himself back with the team for Week 6.

The Raiders elevated Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Bachman will provide depth at wide receiver due to Davante Adams (hamstring) and Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) being listed as out and questionable, respectively, for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Bachman was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns, recording two tackles (one solo) on kick coverage while playing nine snaps with the special-teams unit.

Las Vegas released Bachman on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

The wideout has yet to snag a reception during a regular-season contest and hasn't logged a snap since 2021 with the Giants. He has experience as a punt and kick returner, which could help him in his quest to make it back to an NFL roster at some point.

Bachman (undisclosed) reverted to the Texans' injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

One day after getting waived with an injury designation, Bachman has officially gone unclaimed.

Bachman was pretty quiet in New York's first exhibition contest against New England, catching two passes for 17 yards. He exploded with a huge performance Sunday, however, leading the Giants in targets, catches and receiving yards while hauling in both of the team's two receiving scores. All of Bachman's work came with third-string quarterback Davis Webb behind center, and the pair connected on a pair of fourth-quarter TDs, including one that gave New York the comeback win with 35 seconds remaining in the contest. Bachman has been thought to be on the bubble for the 53-man roster, so it's possible that this performance will go a long way toward making his case for a spot on the team.
