The Raiders are set to begin another practice on Tuesday, but they will be without wide receiver Trey Quinn. The team signed the former seventh-round pick earlier this offseason to compete with Hunter Renfrow and Willie Snead for slot snaps, but the team has decided to waive Quinn.
According to ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez, the release comes with the waive/injured tag, meaning that if he is now claimed on waivers, he will wind up on the injured reserve list for the Raiders. However, that means that he would be unable to play the 2021 season with the team.
#Raiders have added a fourth QB in camp…Case Cookus. Waive/injured WR Trey Quinn.

In a corresponding move, the Raiders added a fourth quarterback to their roster in Case Cookus. He was an undrafted free agent in 2020 out of North Arizona and has already spent his NFL career on three other teams.
More than likely, Cookus’ appearance on the 90-man roster is more of a tryout and camp arm. It seems unlikely that he would make the 53-man roster, but could be competing for a spot on the practice squad.
