The Raiders signed Runyon from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.
Runyon was elevated from the practice squad ahead of this past Sunday's loss to Chicago and logged 15 snaps on special teams (but no offensive snaps). He subsequently reverted back to the practice squad, but Las Vegas has elected to give him a spot on its active roster. Runyon could have a hard time getting into games on offense, however, as he's behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer (concussion) and Ian Thomas on the tight-end depth chart.

Carter Runyon: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Runyon reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Runyon was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears, failing to record any stats while playing 15 snaps on special teams. The tight end did not handle any offensive snaps, with Ian Thomas serving as the top backup option behind starter Brock Bowers. If Michael Mayer (concussion) is unavailable again in Week 5, Runyon could return to the active roster before the team's matchup with the Colts.
