DeShone Kizer promoted to No. 2 QB role

DeShone Kizer has been elevated to the Raiders No. 2 QB role, usurping Mike Glennon, who will now transition into a reserve role as a glorified clip board holder.

It’s unclear at this point if Kizer earned his promotion with strong practices, or if Glennon simply lost his grip on the spot by playing poorly. Glennon was downright abysmal in his limited time taking over for Derek Carr late in the third quarter of the Raiders 34-3 loss to the Jets in Week 12.
