Raiders' Tristin McCollum: Officially back with Las Vegas
Rotowire
McCollum signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Raiders on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In his first campaign with Las Vegas last season, McCollum played in 16 games and worked mostly on special teams (320 snaps), though he did log 145 snaps on defense -- 61 of which came in the final two weeks. He'll likely be tabbed for a rotational role at safety again in 2026 behind Isaiah Pola-Mao (shoulder) and Jeremy Chinn (back).

Rotowire
The Raiders placed an exclusive rights free-agent tender on McCollum on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
McCollum is thus on track to stay with the Raiders instead of hitting free agency, remaining in Las Vegas after he compiled 14 total tackles (11 solo) and a pass defensed over 16 regular-season games in 2025. The 26-year-old will likely compete for a top reserve spot behind Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn (back) at safety in 2026.

Eagles' Tristin McCollum: Steps into expanded role
Rotowire
McCollum recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers.
Though it didn't translate to a huge day in the box score, McCollum played a career-high 66 defensive snaps in Week 14 with both Reed Blankenship (concussion) and Sydney Brown (knee) sidelined. His snap share in Week 15 versus the Steelers will probably depend on Blankenship's and Brown's availability.

Texans' Tristin McCollum: Back at camp
Rotowire
Houston activated McCollum from the PUP list Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
It's still unclear why McCollum was placed on the PUP list to begin with, but his stint there lasted just a week either way. The rookie UDFA is a long shot to make the Texans' 53-man roster as a safety, as Houston holds five players with in-game NFL experience at the position and added Jalen Pitre with the 37th overall pick of the 2022 draft.
