Raiders release DT Kendal Vickers, sign DT Kyle Peko to active roster off practice squad

Raiders swap out defensive tackles

The Raiders swapped out a couple interior defensive linemen Tuesday. They released Kendal Vickers and replaced him with Kyle Peko off their practice squad.

Vickers had missed the past three games with a back injury. In his absence, the team has elevated Peko from the practice squad.

They must have liked what they have seen from Peko and opted to make it official.

Vickers was in his third season with the Raiders, appearing in 25 games with two starts.

The journeyman Peko was signed this offseason as a free agent and didn’t make the team out of camp. He was signed to the practice squad and has seen action in three games this season with three combined tackles (one solo).
