The Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line depth chart saw a quiet but significant shift this offseason as veteran tackle Joshua Miles was placed on the reserve/retired list, effectively concluding his five-year NFL career.

Miles, a 30-year-old tackle drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, carved out a professional journey defined by perseverance. The Morgan State alum appeared in 18 regular-season games across stints with the Cardinals and the New York Giants, embodying the grind of a late-round pick fighting for his place in the league.

His path led him to Las Vegas late in the 2025 season, signing with the Raiders' practice squad on Christmas Eve. While he did not see regular-season action for the Silver and Black, the team saw enough potential to sign him to a reserve/future contract, a common move to retain developmental talent. His decision to retire now opens a spot for the next man up as the Raiders progress through their offseason program, which kicked off last week.

For fans and aspiring players, Miles' career is a reminder of the dedication required to reach the highest level, often battling in the trenches away from the spotlight. As the Raiders continue to build their roster, this move underscores the constant evolution of an NFL team's lineup.
