Wednesday the Raiders had their first walk-thru as they begin the week of practices for their Monday Night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Las Vegas. As they do so, they needed to tidy up the roster in light of some injuries.
- Signed QB Carter Bradley off the practice squad.
- Placed RB Zamir White on injured reserve
- Signed QB Jake Luton to practice squad
- Signed DT Tyler Manoa to the practice squad
- Released DT Marquan McCall from the practice squad
Bradley spent the offseason with the team and has been on the practice squad all season. He was added to backup Desmond Ridder in case Aidan O’Connell is unable to go.
“Well, I just think dealing with the injuries, might as well have three quarterbacks up the way the season has been going,” said Antonio Pierce. “But Carter [Bradley] has done a really good job, kind of like Sincere [McCormick], giving us this really good look on the practice squad and the look team, being competitive, really getting after us. And I think as the season has grown, again it’s in practice, but you have seen improvement. I think the moxie’s come out of him, he’s kind of got out of his shell. I think it’s a great opportunity, you never know what’s going to happen in the game, and he has to be ready to play because it’s been that kind of season for us.”
Luton was signed to the practice squad to replace Bradley. He was a sixth round pick by the Jaguars in the 2020 draft out of Oregon State. He started three games for the Jaguars his rookie season and hasn’t played a game since, spending time on the practice squads of the Jaguars, Saints, and Panthers.
