Raiders make 4 roster moves ahead of Week 5 vs Broncos

Among several roster moves for the Raiders, they signed former first round pick K’Lavon Chaisson to the active roster from the practice squad.

It didn’t take long for K’Lavon Chaisson to get the call up from the practice squad to the active roster. Two weeks ago the team signed the former first round pick to the practice squad due to the injury to Tyree Wilson. Then last week against the Browns, he was activated due in part to the ankle injury to Maxx Crosby that caused Crosby to miss the game. Now they’ve made it official.

With the team sending LB Luke Masterson to the injured reserve, the Raiders have signed Chaisson to the active roster just ahead of facing the rival Broncos in Denver.

Crosby is Questionable for the game, so Chaisson’s addition could be to once again add much needed depth at the position.

Chaissaon played 41 snaps (69%) last week in his debut with the Raiders, collecting four combined tackles in that time.

In addition, the Raiders elevated RB Sincer McCormick and WR Alex Bachman from the practice squad.

Promising Raiders rookie RB Sincere McCormick placed on injured reserve

Raiders UDFA RB Sincere McCormick put up monster numbers in college. He was just placed on IR, ending his 2022 hopes in May.

It was literally a day ago that Sincere McCormick was named among the most likely undrafted free agents to make their team’s regular season roster. The promising rookie out of UT San Antonio was signed by the Raiders this offseason, joining a pretty crowded running back room, which should speak to his potential that anyone would think he’d break through to make the roster.

Well, that prediction looks like the kiss of death now as today the Raiders placed McCormick on injured reserve, seemingly ending his 2022 season even before minicamp.

There is always the possibility that he could be released with an injury settlement with the hopes of bringing him back during the season. Otherwise, the plan is to shelf McCormick until next year.

The UTSA legend put up monster numbers in his three college seasons.

He set school records for rushing yards (3,939), rushing TD’s (34), 100-yard rushing games (18) and all-purpose yards (4,438). As a junior in 2021, he set UTSA single season records with 298 carries for 1,479 yards and 15 TD’s and 1,663 all-purpose yards.

His 1663 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns last season earned him Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year honors.

So, you can see why the Raiders might want to ‘stash’ him until 2023 when the running back room will be less crowded. Then we can revisit his chances of making the regular season roster.
