This week the Raiders signed a new safety and a new defensive end. Both are active today against the Bengals.
Safety DJ Swearinger was added to the squad last Saturday following the loss of Karl Joseph to a season-ending injury, leaving the safety position thin. With Lamarcus Joyner inactive with a hamstring injury, the Raiders will have just three safeties in Erik Harris, Curtis Riley, and DJ Swearinger. Cornerback Daryl Worley could potentially play some safety in a pinch.
Defensive end Dion Jordan came off a 10-game suspension this week, and the first eligible day for him to join his new teammates was Wednesday. With the injury to Arden Key, Jordan could see some work on third down and obvious passing situations.
