Anusiem said signed with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He didn’t make the roster, but was signed to the practice squad. The Cleveland Browns signed him off the Commanders practice squad in November. He played in one game for the Browns and played eight snaps on defense and five on special teams. The Browns cut him in August. The Arizona Cardinals signed him to the practice squad in August. He remained on it until the Raiders signed him on Tuesday.

He played for California from 2018-21 and for Colorado State in 2022-23.
How he will fit in with Raiders:
Anusiem, 25, will get a look in the final stretch of the season. Expect him to be a deep backup and maybe play some special teams and then be part of the program to try to make the team in 2026.
