The Las Vegas Raiders waived rookie quarterback Cam Miller on Tuesday, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. A sixth-round pick out of North Dakota State, Miller showed some flashes during the preseason. His release comes as somewhat of a surprise, with Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (wrist) set to miss significant time after fracturing his wrist. However, Las Vegas solidified its backup QB role by acquiring Kenny Pickett from the Cleveland Browns, and chose not to put O'Connell on injured reserve to begin the year. Miller could potentially find his way back to the Raiders as a practice squad signing or be claimed elsewhere.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Cam Miller saw extra work in Saturday's 20-10 loss to the Cardinals, stepping in following Aidan O'Connell's fractured wrist. Miller finished 12-of-24 passing with four sacks, showing flashes of arm strength but also the growing pains expected of a developmental rookie. His promotion to QB2 ensures more practice and in-game reps over the next two months, giving the Raiders a chance to accelerate his growth. While not a redraft option, Miller could emerge as an intriguing dynasty stash if he continues to build confidence and sharpen decision-making against NFL competition.

Las Vegas Raiders sixth-round rookie quarterback Cam Miller made the most of his limited opportunity in Thursday night's 23-23 tie with the Seahawks. Entering in the fourth quarter, Miller quickly led a 65-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by a 41-yard strike to Shedrick Jackson down the right sideline. He followed that with a game-tying field goal drive and nearly orchestrated a game-winner, if not for a blocked field goal on the final possession. While Geno Smith remains locked in as the starter, Miller is making a strong case to overtake Aidan O'Connell for the backup quarterback job.
