Raiders add WR and TE to practice squad in Tuesday transactions

The Las Vegas Raiders have made several moves as the team prepares for this weekend's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

We reported yesterday that the Raiders plan to place quarterback Aidan O'Connell on injured reserve and also sign quarterback Desmond Ridder.

On Tuesday, the club announced it had made those transactions, naming Ridder to the practice squad while O'Connell was placed on IR after the second-year quarterback broke his thumb on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Raiders also announced that they have also signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall and tight end Trevon Wesco to the practice squad.

Marshall was selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He played three seasons in Carolina, making 16 starts in 36 appearances. During that time, Marshall totaled 767 yards and one touchdown on 64 receptions.

The Panthers would release Marshall as part of this year's roster cuts. He was subsequently signed to the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad before being released by the team last week.

Wesco was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. He spent three seasons in New York, playing 40 games and starting 12. As a Jet, he tallied 87 yards on six receptions.

New York released Wesco during 2022 roster cuts before he was claimed by the Chicago Bears. He spent just one season in Chicago, starting once in 14 contests, before signing with the Tennessee Titans as a free agent in March 2023.

Wesco started 10 of 15 games for the Titans last year, making just one catch for 21 yards.
