Field Gulls on Cody White
From the article
wide receiver Cody White, who was released by the Seahawks during roster cuts and signed to the Raiders practice squad. White was elevated to the game day roster, playing 11 snaps on offense and 14 on special teams... his special teams value he showed in Seattle came through for Vegas on this touchdown-saving tackle on Dolphins returner Jaylen Wright... The former Seahawks offensive coordinator's first game ball, however, was not to Ashton Jeanty after his 147-yard, two-touchdown performance. It was to wide receiver Cody White
STACKED’s take
White's game-saving special teams tackle earned him the game ball in Raiders' Week 1 win.
The source highlights Cody White's Week 1 impact for the Las Vegas Raiders despite minimal offensive touches. White was released by the Seahawks during roster cuts, signed to the Raiders practice squad, and elevated to the game day roster. He played 11 snaps on offense and 14 on special teams with no catches on one target, but made a game-changing special teams tackle on Dolphins returner Jaylen Wright that prevented a touchdown late in the third quarter. This play turned a red zone possession into a missed field goal and no points, effectively shutting down Miami's offensive rhythm for the remainder of the 27-13 Raiders win. White earned the head coach's game ball over Ashton Jeanty despite Jeanty's 147-yard, two-touchdown performance.
