The Oakland Raiders have been hit with multiple injuries to their secondary in recent weeks. With safety Karl Joseph landing on injured reserve, and the status of Lamarcus Joyner unknown, the Raiders brought in a new face to workout for the time being.
On Saturday the Raiders officially placed Karl Joseph on season-ending injured reserve, while adding D.J. Swearinger to the active roster. Despite the Raiders making a corresponding move with Joseph landing on IR, they’re also unsure of how serious Lamarcus Joyner‘s pulled hamstring is.
To deal with the loss of Joseph, the Raiders are taking every measure to add talent to the secondary, and that continued on Monday.
