The Raiders worked out former first-round pick D.J. Fluker last week as they search for more offensive line depth. Starting left tackle Kolton Miller has missed several games with a shoulder injury and isn’t expected to play in Week 15.
After their Week 14 loss to the Vikings, the Raiders have signed Fluker to the practice squad. Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report first reported that news on Monday.

It remains to be seen what position that Fluker will play and how soon he will get on the field, but the former first-round pick from the 2013 NFL Draft is officially back in the league.
