Friday the Raiders made a few roster moves, swapping out wide receivers and tight ends. Signed the to roster were WR Ramel Keyton and TE Justin Shorter. Waived were WR Tyreik McAllister and TE John Samuel Shenker.
Keyton was signed as an undrafted free agent this offseason. He impressed in training camp and preseason and spent all of this season on the team’s practice squad.
Shorter was a former fifth overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. He was among the team’s final roster cuts in August and has spent all season on the Raiders’ practice squad. He has been activated off the practice squad the past two weeks.
McAllister spent last season in the CFL, leading the league in return yardage. He returned a kick for a touchdown this preseason for the Raiders, earning him a roster spot.
Shenker has spent parts of the past two seasons with the Raiders and was the team’s number two tight end the past few weeks with Harrison Bryant injured. Bryant returns this week from his elbow injury.
