Stoner's (undisclosed) practice-squad contract with the Raiders expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Stoner joined Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent ahead of the 2021 season, serving as a core special-teamer across six games during his rookie season. The wideout then signed with the team's practice squad after this preseason, and he finished out the season on the injured list after popping up with an undisclosed issue Sept. 15. It's unclear what injury kept Stoner sidelined for so long, but he'll now likely look to ink a reserve/future contract at some point before the end of the 2022 season.

Raiders' Dillon Stoner: Removed from active/PUP list
Rotowire
The Raiders activated Stoner (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list, and he returned to practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Stoner started training camp on the PUP list, but he's since returned to practice. Due to his lengthy absence, it's unclear if he'll garner any playing time during Saturday's preseason contest. The 6-foot wideout played just 19 offensive snaps over six games with the Raiders last season and is likely competing for a fringe spot on the team's initial 53-man roster.
