Las Vegas Raiders make a roster move before their matchup vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars that fans have been waiting for

Raiders need the former USC CB Greedy Vance vs. a decent passing attack

The Jaguars are a better offense when they are running the ball well with Travis Etienne. When they are a passing team first, the offense doesn't look as great, and now with Travis Hunter, their second-best wide receiver, out for a few games, their run game should be the focus.

However, with a dynamic quarterback like Trevor Lawrence, one of the best wide receivers in the league in Brian Thomas Jr., and some other weapons on the offense, you can't play scared there. The pass defense needs to be on point, too, because that run game will only set up the deep ball.

Sure, BTJ is having a pretty bad second season, but he's still a guy who can go off. Vance could very well not play much at all in this game, given that he was on the practice squad before. However, he was one of the best defensive backs during the preseason.

Greedy Vance's college stats

• 2020 (Freshman at Louisville Cardinals): Appeared in five games; recorded one tackle (no interceptions, pass breakups, or tackles for loss).
• 2021 (Sophomore at Louisville Cardinals): Appeared in 12 games with nine starts; recorded 36 tackles (one for loss), seven pass breakups, no interceptions, and one forced fumble.
• 2022 (Redshirt Junior at Florida State Seminoles): Appeared in 13 games with five starts; recorded 16 tackles, five pass breakups, and three interceptions.
• 2023 (Redshirt Senior at Florida State Seminoles): Appeared in 14 games with five starts; recorded 18 tackles, three pass breakups, and one interception.
• 2024 (Fifth-Year Senior at USC Trojans): Appeared in 11 games with six starts; recorded 29 tackles (one for loss), two pass breakups, and one interception.

Of course, he's also a former USC Trojans cornerback, which means he's a fan favorite, too. Vance is quite versatile as a cornerback, able to match up against various types of wide receivers and play in both zone and man coverage.

The Jaguars also made some practice squad elevations, with linebacker Branson Combs and wide receiver Tim Jones getting the call-up.
