Raiders release running back Alexander Mattison after struggles

The Las Vegas Raiders have released running back Alexander Mattison after a challenging 2024 season. Mattison, who joined the team to support Zamir White, struggled to make a significant impact, finishing with 714 scrimmage yards in 14 games. Mattison's best performance came in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, where he rushed for 92 yards. However, he was often part of a rotation and rarely had the opportunity to carry the ball extensively. The Raiders' offense faced difficulties, particularly at quarterback and on the offensive line, limiting Mattison's effectiveness. He is now set to join the Miami Dolphins for the upcoming season.
