Raiders send 2 starters to injured reserve, add 4 to active roster Week 13 vs Chiefs

Raiders made several moves including sending Gardner Minshew and Jakorian Bennett to IR and adding four others to face the Chiefs Week 13.

Early Thanksgiving Day, the Raiders took care of quite a bit of business. First they sent starting quarterback Gardner Minshew along with starting cornerback Jakorian Bennett to injured reserve.

Minshew broke his collarbone late in the team loss to the Denver Broncos last week. His season is done.

Bennett suffered a shoulder injury on the second play of the team’s game in Miami in week 11 and missed the Broncos game last week. He will be out at least the next four weeks which means should he return this season, he would be eligible to play the final two games of the season.

In corresponding moves, the Raiders officially activated QB Aidan O’Connell from injured reserve and signed practice squad WR Terrace Marshall to the active roster.

O’Connell will start vs the Chiefs on Friday, He had been out the past four games with an injured thumb. While Marshall has been on the team’s practice squad since October 22, appearing in one game this season so far.

Additionally, the Raiders elevated CB Kyu Blu Kelly and RB Sincere McCormick from the practice squad. McCormick in particular played well enough last week against the Broncos to earn more snaps this week.

Raiders activate former 2nd round WR Week 11 vs Dolphins

For the first time since signing Terrace Marshall to the practice squad, he will be active Sunday vs the Dolphins.

For the first time since Terrace Marshall was signed to the Raiders practice squad three weeks ago, he’s getting called up to action.

The former round two pick by the Panthers in the 2021 draft played three seasons in Carolina, appearing in 36 games with 16 starts.

The 6-2, 200-pounder has 64 career catches for 767 yards and one touchdown. His best season was in 2022 when he caught 28 passes for 490 yards (17.5 yards per catch) and a touchdown.

But after a down year, he was released in the final roster cuts last August. He caught on with the 49ers on their practice squad but was released again last week and scooped up by the Raiders, who could certainly use some help at receiver.

With Davante Adams traded to New York, the Raiders have not been able to suitably fill his role in the offense. Jakobi Meyers has stepped up as the team’s top receiver, but in the five weeks since the trade, Tre Tucker has just nine catches for 85 yards.

Additionally, the Raiders activated C Will Putnam with Andre James OUT with an ankle injury and the offensive line depleted.

Raiders get help at wide receiver, signing former Panthers 2nd rounder

Some help has arrived with the Raiders signing former Panthers second rounder receiver Terrace Marshall to the practice squad.

This week, the Raiders are taking some drastic action at several position in their attempts to find some production on the offensive side of the ball.

Tuesday along with adding former Falcons starting QB Desmond Ridder off the Cardinals practice squad, they signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall to the practice squad.

Marshall was a round two pick by the Panthers in the 2021 draft out of LSU. He played three seasons in Carolina, appearing in 36 games with 16 starts.

The 6-2, 200-pounder has 64 career catches for 767 yards and one touchdown. His best season was in 2022 when he caught 28 passes for 490 yards (17.5 yards per catch) and a touchdown.

But after a down year, he was released in the final roster cuts last August. He caught on with the 49ers on their practice squad but was released again last week.

It wouldn’t take much for him to be worthy of a shot with the Raiders who have been struggling to field an even serviceable wide receiver corps since Davante Adams’ trade request and Jakobi Meyers’ ankle injury.

49ers add familiar face at RB, former 2nd-round WR to practice squad

The 49ers now have a full practice squad.

The San Francisco 49ers officially have a full practice squad.

On Thursday they announced the signing of running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn and wide receiver Terrace Marshall to their 16-man practice roster. They’re now at 17 players, including Isaac Alarcon who’s with the club via the NFL’s international player pathway program.

Vaughn was with the 49ers during the preseason. He played only seven snaps in one exhibition contest this year. In that game he racked up 12 rushing yards on two carries.

He gives San Francisco some internal running back depth after undrafted rookie Cody Schrader was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Rams. Vaughn was a third-round pick of the Buccaneers in the 2020 draft. In four years with Tampa Bay he had 384 yards and two touchdowns on 102 carries.

Marshall is an interesting player. He was taken by the Carolina Panthers in the second round of the 2021 draft. Despite measurables that project a ton of upside, he never put it together with the Panthers. In 36 games he had 64 catches for 767 yards and one touchdown across three seasons.

The 49ers may want to see if they can squeeze any untapped potential out of him. He joins Tay Martin and Trent Taylor as receivers on the practice squad. San Francisco may be aiming for internal depth with so much uncertainty around Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall. If one or both aren’t available for the season opener it may force the 49ers to move their depth chart up where they would have a need for some special teams contributions at WR.

If San Francisco wants to make any more practice squad additions it will have to come with a corresponding move to drop a player since that portion of their roster is maxed out.

That could come into play soon. The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reported the 49ers are hoping to bring back defensive end Sam Okuayinonu who they waived Wednesday.

Panthers cut former LSU Tiger and Justin Jefferson teammate, Terrace Marshall

Could the Vikings look toward the former LSU Tiger to help fill a role in the future?

Could there be a reunion between Justin Jefferson and his former LSU teammate, Terrace Marshall, in the future?

When the Carolina Panthers made their 53-man decisions, they cut the former LSU standout. Marshall was a second-round pick by the Panthers during the 2021 NFL Draft. But in three NFL seasons, Marshall has caught for just 767 yards and one career touchdown.

The thing is, Marshall was a second-round selection for a reason. He was a standout receiver at LSU. In three seasons with the Tigers, Marshall caught 106 passes for 1,594 yards and 23 touchdowns. Most of that came in his final two seasons with LSU.

While Jalen Nailor has locked down the third receiver role and Minnesota also seems happy with Brandon Powell, the Vikings could look toward Marshall to bring in and compete for a spot. Possibly getting a fresh start in Minnesota, pairing back up with his former teammate, could get Marshall rolling —  showing that second-round talent he possessed.

Should Bengals go after recently cut LSU second-round pick?

Will the Bengals be on the market for a big name who just got cut?

The Cincinnati Bengals project to get active adding to the roster and practice squad with outside names right after final cuts.

Might Terrace Marshall Jr. be a target?

Marshall, notably a second-round pick out of LSU in 2021, will catch the eyes of fans for those reasons. He scored 13 touchdowns as Joe Burrow’s third option after Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson in 2019. The fact he’s still just 24 years old doesn’t hurt, either.

But Marshall is on the outs with Carolina for a reason, too. He’s never caught more than 28 passes in a season and scored just one touchdown, with the fact he can’t make a mid-looking Panthers depth chart something of a red flag.

Tack on the fact the Bengals have at least six wideouts who are roster locks on the 53 and a few more who are worthy of the practice squad.

So yes, the Bengals should probably do their due diligence with Marshall, but other teams will have an interest in him as a 53 member, while the Bengals don’t appear to have the room right now.

Here’s our Bengals final cuts roster tracker.

Former LSU assistant set to interview for Atlanta Falcons head coaching job

Former LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady could get a chance to interview for the Falcons head coaching job.

[autotag]Joe Brady[/autotag] is getting a chance to interview for the Atlanta Falcons head coaching position.

According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Falcons requested to interview the Bills offensive coordinator.

LSU fans are familiar with Brady from his time at LSU, where he served as the passing game coordinator during LSU’s national title run in 2019. Brady also helped coach a receivers group that featured [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag], [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] and [autotag]Terrace Marshall[/autotag].

Brady left LSU following the 2019 season for the offensive coordinator position with the Carolina Panthers but was let go in 2021. He began 2023 as the Bills’ QB coach but was promoted to the OC role after Ken Dorsey was fired.

Brady has some tough competition for the Falcons job given the organization’s interest in Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh, two of the biggest names on the market.

For now, Brady will continue to call plays for the Bills as they look to finally breakthrough and make a Super Bowl with Josh Allen.

Bengals trade deadline idea: Call Panthers to reunite Joe Burrow and Terrace Marshall

One Bengals trade deadline idea involving Panthers WR Terrace Marshall.

The Cincinnati Bengals don’t exactly need help at wide receiver right now, but sometimes the value and even the storyline is a little too good not to examine.

And the looming NFL trade deadline has provided just that.

The 0-6 Carolina Panthers have given wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. permission to seek a trade. That name might sound familiar to Bengals fans because he played college ball at LSU with a guy named Joe Burrow.

Here’s ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on the situation:

The Panthers have granted Terrace Marshall Jr. permission to seek a trade, with the stipulation that he’s welcome back if a deal does not materialize. He’s a former second-rounder with size and speed, characteristics that usually have value. 

Since joining the Panthers, Marshall has caught 61 passes for 742 yards and one touchdown over 32 games, most recently playing zero snaps in Week 5 and catching zero passes in a Week 6 loss.

Marshall, 6’2″ and 200 pounds, would make for an interesting depth piece in Cincinnati for at least a little while. If Tee Higgins can’t get the rib injury right (and fans know he’s a free agent soon, too), it will place more stress on backups like Andrei Iosivas.

More than anything, Marshall would come pretty cheap and he’s the guy who scored 13 touchdowns alongside Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson in 2019. Adding another boundary player as immediate depth and creating long-term flexibility isn’t the worst idea, especially if the ask is something like a late-round pick.

Where Shelton Sampson Jr. ranks among LSU five-star wide receiver signees since 2000

Where does Shelton Sampson Jr rank among the top WRs at LSU since 2000?

Brian Kelly made a big splash in the 2023 recruiting class when he landed five-star wide receiver Shelton Sampson Jr. from Baton Rouge on August 6th. Sampson measures six-foot-four and 181-pounds and ranks as the No. 4 wide receiver in the 2023 recruiting class.

All of this info begs the question, “Where does Sampson rank against every five-star wide receiver signee since 2000?” So, that is what we’re going to discover today. LSU has had ten other five-star receiver signees (excluding Sampson) since 2000.

Fun fact, only two of those receivers were not from Louisiana. (Xavier Carter, Terrance Toliver) That’s why it has been such a big deal for Brian Kelly to come in and ‘Recruit the Boot’ just check out this list of Louisiana-born talent to see why.
