The Oakland Raiders made a series of roster moves on Wednesday, including signing former Notre Dame linebacker Te’Von Coney to their practice squad.
Coney starred at Notre Dame from 2015-2018, racking up 313 total tackles, including 23 for a loss and seven sacks.
Despite getting a fifth round grade from Draft Network, and getting lauded for his potential as an early-down, run-stuffing linebacker, Coney went undrafted in the 2019 NFL draft.
He managed to catch on with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, but they waived him on August 31 and added him to their practice squad a week later, which he has bounced off and on throughout the season.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden promised Raider fans that some changes were coming, and while Coney’s path to the active roster is still blocked, his return to the practice squad gives him a better chance of making his NFL debut before the 2019 season is concluded.
