Report: Raiders Release DE Bruce Irvin

The Oakland Raiders have reportedly released veteran defensive end Bruce Irvin, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur.

Irvin, who spent three seasons with Oakland, had seen his role diminished in recent weeks. He logged a season-low nine snaps in Thursday night's 34-3 loss against the 49ers.

Irvin, 31, has recorded six tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble in eight games (six starts) this season.

The former Pro Bowl pass rusher is the second Raiders captain that head coach Jon Gruden has cut this season joining linebacker Derrick Johnson, who was released in October.
