Jon Gruden has been saying he’s going to shake things up to try and add a spark to the Raiders after their two big losses the past two weeks. Apparently, that goes for the practice squad as well.
The team had three new faces on the scout team today. First up, they had tight end Eric Saubert signed away by the Bears. They replaced him with third-year tight end Cole Wick.
They also added rookie CB Jordan Brown and brought back WR De’Mornay Pierson-El who had spent part of the offseason with the team.
Brown was a 7th round pick by the Bengals. He played on Gruden’s North squad in the Senior Bowl.
In corresponding moves, they released linebacker Quentin Poling and offensive lineman Kyle Kalis from the practice squad.
At this point in the season teams are jockeying to add players they would like to re-sign to reserve/future contracts come January.
