Raiders' Cole Fotheringham: Sticking with Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders signed Fotheringham (hamstring) to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Fotheringham joined the Raiders' practice squad Aug. 30 after failing to make the 53-man roster after training camp. He was elevated twice late in the season and had one catch for six yards over 21 offensive snaps. Fotheringham sustained a hamstring injury in Week 17 against the Colts, and the Raiders placed him on their practice squad injured reserve list Jan. 2. He'll spend the offseason rehabbing and will have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot come training camp.

Cole Fotheringham: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
The Raiders reverted Fotheringham to their practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With primary tight end Michael Mayer (toe) unable to play Monday against Kansas City, Las Vegas elevated Fotheringham from the practice squad for the first time in his career. In his initial taste of NFL regular-season action, the Utah product played 19 offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps, catching his only target for a six-yard gain. Whether Fotheringham gets elevated again this week likely depends on Mayer's ability (or inability) to suit up.

Raiders' Cole Fotheringham: Gets chance with Raiders
Rotowire
Fotheringham has signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
Fotheringham recorded 15 receptions for 128 yards over eight games in his final season with Utah in 2021. The rookie tight end was the only player at his position signed in Las Vegas' class of undrafted free agents. He'll join a position group that currently features four veteran players, including Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister and Nick Bowers. Fotheringham likely will need to carve out a niche for himself as a blocking tight end this offseason.
