The Raiders trimmed their roster to 53 players Tuesday and waived a pair of draft picks in the process.

Quarterback Cam Miller and wide receiver Tommy Mellott, both sixth-round picks in April’s draft, were among the players the team cut.

The Raiders also released wide receiver Alex Bachman and veteran safety Terrell Edmunds. The team, in a bit of a surprise, kept quarterback Aidan O’Connell on the active roster instead of placing him on injured reserve. O’Connell is expected to miss at least six weeks with a fractured wrist.

The Raiders did place safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. on IR after he broke his fibula during a team scrimmage earlier this month. He is eligible to return after the team’s first four regular-season games.

Miller and Mellott are candidates for the Raiders’ practice squad, but they have to get through waivers first. They can join the practice squad if they aren’t claimed by 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The other players the team waived Tuesday were defensive tackle Zach Carter, running back Chris Collier, defensive end Jahfari Harvey, wide receiver Shedrick Jackson, linebacker Matt Jones, defensive tackle Treven Ma’ae, guard Atonio Mafi, running back Sincere McCormick, defensive end Ovie Oghoufo, tight end Carter Runyon, wide receiver Justin Shorter, offensive lineman Laki Tasi, safety Trey Taylor, cornerback Greedy Vance, offensive tackle Dalton Wagner and cornerback JT Woods.

The Raiders also released tight end Albert Okwuegbunam Jr.
