Latham was waived by the Raiders on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was waived just hours before the beginning of the 2018 NFL Draft. The 2016 undrafted free agent played 17 games for Oakland in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, but managed to log only 24 combined tackles. The 23-year-old was previously waived by the Raiders in December of 2017, and apparently did not impress enough on the practice squad to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. Latham will hope to find a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Latham signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was waived by the Raiders earlier in December and reverted to the team's practice squad. The 23-year-old has been mostly inactive due to injuries and suspensions in his time with the Raiders, and he is likely to only provide depth on the defensive line.

Latham was waived by Oakland on Monday, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The decision to place Latham on waivers came after the reinstatement of Michael Crabtree from his suspension. Latham has been largely inactive this season due to a variety of reasons including suspensions and injuries. His future in the NFL remains widely uncertain at the present time.

Latham has completed his suspension, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was handed a four-game suspension in early October for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. While it isn't clear if the Raiders will welcome him back with open arms or not, Oakland was granted a temporary roster exemption and will have a day or two to make a decision on Latham's future with the team.

Latham has been suspended four games for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latham, a reserve defensive tackle, won't be eligible to play again until the Raiders' date with the Patriots on Nov. 11. Since Treyvon Hester remains as the only backup to starters Justin Ellis and Eddie Vanderdoes, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if Oakland adds another defensive lineman for depth in the near future.

Latham (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was limited in practice this week, but will be good to go after missing the Raiders' last two games. He will provide depth along Oakland's defensive line.

Latham (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Scott Bair of CSN California reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latham missed the Raiders' past two games but he appears to be nearing a return to action. If he's healthy he'll provide needed depth at defensive tackle, a position where Oakland has only two players not presently on the injury report.

Latham (ankle) has been listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was able to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion and had been considered questionable for Thursday's game. This will be the second consecutive game he's missed due to his ankle injury.

Latham (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Latham was unable to practice throughout the week and will therefore be sidelined throughout the weekend as well. The backup defensive tackle has just 12 tackles on the season, so his absence won't be much of a blow to the Raiders' defensive front.

Latham is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to an ankle injury, Jimmy Durkin of the Bay Area News Group reports.
