The Oakland Raiders are cutting former Michigan State DT Mike Panasiuk among other players in order to reach the 53-man roster limit. Panasiuk originally signed with the Raiders as a Free Agent after going undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Here is confirmation via Twitter from NFL writer Bill Williamson:

Mike Panasiuk was a very productive Defensive Tackle at Michigan State, ending his career with 95 total tackles and five sacks. According to Bill Williamson, there is still a chance for Panasiuk to end up on the Raider’s practice squad. Let’s hope this keeps the door cracked open for Panasiuk to somehow make it onto the team this season.
