Raiders' Dylan Laube: Loses fumble on first NFL carry
Dylan Laube lost a fumble on his only carry in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.The first offensive snap and rushing attempt of Laube's young NFL career resulted in a fumble, as the sixth-round rookie had the ball punched out of his arms by Steelers All-Pro T.J. Watt late in the second quarter. Laube didn't see the field on offense for the remainder of the contest, and with fellow running back Zamir White (groin) possibly returning against the Rams in Week 7, Laube could remain limited to a special-teams role.

Raiders' Dylan Laube: Gets start in preseason finale
Dylan Laube rushed three times for 12 yards and added one catch on one target for six yards in Friday's preseason tie with the 49ers. He also lost a fumble and returned a kickoff for 24 yards.Las Vegas sat most of its starters in the contest, and Laube was thus handed the start. He ripped off a nice eight-yard run on his second carry but ended his day on a sour note, losing a fumble following a six-yard reception late in the first quarter. That Laube suited up Friday while Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Alexander Mattison all sat could be a hint about where he stands in the running back pecking order. He could see more work in the return game than as a ball carrier in his rookie campaign.

Raiders' Dylan Laube: Four carries in preseason debut
Dylan Laube rushed four times for eight yards and was targeted once in the passing game during the Las Vegas Raiders' preseason opener against the Vikings. He also returned one kickoff for 16 yards.Laube didn't tote the rock until the second half in his NFL preseason debut, but he took his first carry for 13 yards before struggling to find much space on each of his final three rushes. Although he left his maiden tilt without a reception, the versatile sixth-round rookie out of New Hampshire continues to be lauded for his pass-catching chops as he looks to carve out a meaningful role in the backfield behind starter Zamir White.

Raiders' Dylan Laube: Looks sharp early on
Dylan Laube has been making a case to earn some playing time early on this coming season, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said the rookie sixth-round pick is "off to a great start," after head coach Antonio Pierce noted of Laube on Friday, "That dude is special. I like him...and he's gritty. he's a gritty RB. One thing - he surprises you with his speed." That said, Tafur acknowledges that Laube currently slots in behind fellow backs Zamir White, Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah. The rookie is a threat to take over Abdullah's role on third downs and could also get a look on kick returns.

Raiders' Dylan Laube: Las Vegas picks up in sixth round
The Las Vegas Raiders selected Dylan Laube in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 208th overall.Laube was an extremely productive workhorse at New Hampshire, but at 5-foot-10, 206 pounds Laube has a frame more conventionally seen among third-down backs. That should suit Laube just fine -- Laube averaged more than five catches per game in his final two seasons and is clearly comfortable catching passes. Zamir White appears locked in as starter for Las Vegas and the duo of Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah both excel on passing downs, but Laube has better pure pass-catching ability than any of them.
