The Raiders made a few roster moves ahead of Sunday night’s win-and-in the playoffs game against the Chargers. The team announced that they have signed wide receiver Tyron Johnson to the active roster from their practice squad and activated tight end Derek Carrier from injured reserve.
Although the Raiders still have dynamic receiving tight end Darren Waller and quality backup Foster Moreau, Carrier has been one of the better blockers at this position during his NFL tenure.
The days after the cut to 53 players are filled with secondary roster moves as teams put players on injured reserve, make waiver claims or maneuver to get recently released players back on their rosters.
