The Raiders bolstered their secondary by claiming safety Tristin McCollum off waivers from the Eagles on Thursday.

McCollum, 26, appeared in 17 games for Philadelphia over the last two years. He was undrafted out of Sam Houston State in 2022 and spent his first season on the Texans’ practice squad. The Raiders waived safety Thomas Harper in a corresponding move.

McCollum played 14 games for the Eagles last year and had 33 tackles and two pass deflections. He made Philadelphia’s initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but was waived Wednesday. McCollum is the second player the Raiders have claimed in as many days after they grabbed edge rusher Brennan Jackson from the Rams on Wednesday.

McCollum’s twin brother, Zyon, is a cornerback for the Buccaneers. Zyon McCollum was selected by Tampa Bay in the fifth round of the 2022 draft when Raiders general manager John Spytek was in the team’s front office.

Tristin and Zyon McCollum’s father, Cory Carr, was drafted in the second round of the 1998 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks and played 42 games in the league for the Chicago Bulls.
