Pratt signed with the team this offseason and started the first four games of the season, but Carroll explained that the Raiders want to move in a “different direction.”

Pratt had 25 tackles and two passes defensed for the Raiders. He made 88 starts over six seasons with the Bengals before moving on to Las Vegas.

Devin White and Elandon Roberts started at linebacker in Sunday’s loss to the Colts.
