Well, that was quick. After only two games played since returning from injured reserve, the Raiders placed linebacker Marquel Lee back on the IR, promoting Lester Cotton Sr. from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
Lee played in the first three games of the season before heading to IR. He came back for Week 14 and 15, expected to add some life to the Raiders linebacker corps. He accrued eleven tackles and three starts across his five games played.
With Lee heading to IR, the Raiders’ signing of Ukeme Eligwe makes a little bit more sense.
