The Raiders released veteran defensive end Josh Mauro, the team announced on Sunday afternoon.
That’s the official corresponding move for an earlier waiver claim, which added quarterback DeShone Kizer from Green Bay.
That is not a straight swap, just first of a few moves to get the Raiders’ roster right.
It might not even end the Raiders’ association with Mauro.
He could be back soon, a source said, as the Raiders continue to tweak their roster heading toward a Sept. 9 regular-season opener versus Denver.
There’s no certainty if he formally hits the street, unless there’s already a handshake agreement to bring him back.
