Las Vegas signed Bachman to its practice squad Tuesday.
The Raiders just cut Bachman from their active roster on Saturday, but they were able to bring him back on board as a practice squadder after he cleared waivers. Las Vegas only has four healthy wideouts on its 53-man depth chart ahead of Week 12, so it might not be long before Bachman finds his way back up to the main unit.

Alex Bachman: Let go by Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders waived Bachman on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Bachman struggled to establish himself in the Raiders offense, failing to see a target in five of six regular-season games. Should he clear waivers, the 28-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at wide receiver. His tenure with the Raiders will end with him having caught three passes for 31 yards, all of which took place in Week 6 against the Steelers.

Raiders' Alex Bachman: Not targeted against Rams
Rotowire
Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps. Bachman's playing time figures to drastically decrease upon Jakobi Meyers' (ankle) return to action, which could come in Week 8 versus the Chiefs.

Alex Bachman: Heads back to practice squad
Rotowire
Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.
Bachman was elevated for the third straight game Week 6 and logged 27 of Las Vegas' 63 offensive snaps in a loss against Pittsburgh. The wideout finished with his first three catches of the campaign (on three targets) for 31 yards. A player can be elevated from the practice squad only three times in a campaign, so the Raiders will need to sign Bachman to the 53-man roster if they want him to play again Week 7 versus the Rams. The likelihood of that happening could depend on whether Davante Adams (hamstring) and/or Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are able to return to game action.

Raiders' Alex Bachman: Three catches in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.
Bachman made his first three receptions of the season Sunday after being elevated from the practice squad for a third consecutive game, matching fellow receiver Kristian Wilkerson's 27 offensive snaps behind fill-in starters Tre Tucker and DJ Turner. However, Bachman has exhausted his three permitted practice-squad elevations for the season, so the next time he suits up on game day, he must be a member of the 53-man roster. Regardless, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) appears likely to return from his injury against the Rams in Week 7.

Alex Bachman: Back to practice squad
Rotowire
Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.
Bachman was elevated to the active roster with Davante Adams (hamstring) out of action. The Wake Forest product saw one snap on offense, and although he handled punt return duties, he only got to handle two fair catches. With Adams likely remaining out for Las Vegas, the 28-year-old Bachman may find himself back with the team for Week 6.
