Cody White Returns to NFL Action with Raiders After Injury-Forced Comeback
After overcoming a groin injury and a 2025 season with the Seattle Seahawks marked by limited play, wide receiver Cody White signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2026, aiming to revitalize his NFL career amid team injuries.
Cody White, a professional NFL wide receiver, has experienced a challenging but persistent career trajectory over the past two seasons. After sustaining a groin injury in late December 2024, White re-signed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2025 following his recovery. His 2025 season featured limited on-field action, as he appeared in 10 regular-season games and recorded three receptions for 90 yards and one touchdown, indicating a gradual return to form but modest statistical impact during that period.

In September 2026, White signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he started on the practice squad. On September 12, 2026, due to injuries among the Raiders' wide receivers, White was elevated to the active roster. In his first game wearing the Raiders uniform, he contributed on both offense and special teams, playing 11 offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps. However, he did not register any receptions in that game, suggesting limited opportunities to make a significant impact immediately after joining the team. [2]
As of late September 2026, there have been no further updates on Cody White's status with the Raiders. While his recent elevations demonstrate the team's reliance on him during periods of injury, his future role remains uncertain. White's journey underscores the challenges players face returning from injury and competing for playing time on NFL rosters strained by physical setbacks. [1][2]
