ALAMEDA – Here are the latest roster shake ups heading into the season finale:
The Raiders claimed offensive lineman Jonathan Palmer from Pittsburgh’s practice squad and added him to their 53-man roster.
That guarantees Palmer, a rookie from Auburn, won’t have to practice next week.
Offensive lineman Mark Wilson was promoted from the Raiders’ practice squad to the active roster. This is a move the Raiders probably should have made when Cornell Green went down.
Daunte Culpepper and Justin Fargas were placed on injured reserve.
And running back Quinton Smith was signed to the practice squad. He was signed as an undrafted rookie by New England.
That makes two ex-Patriots for the Raiders in a week after claiming safety Rashad Baker off waivers.
