Raiders claim Kizer, now have 4 QBs on roster

The Oakland Raiders claimed quarterback DeShone Kizer off waivers from the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Kizer was among the Packers' cuts on Saturday as the team trimmed down its roster to 53 players.

The Raiders released defensive end Josh Mauro in the corresponding move, meaning that Oakland, at least for now, is carrying four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.

Kizer joins Mike Glennon and Nathan Peterman as the backups behind starter Derek Carr.

Kizer was waived Saturday less two years after he started 15 games for the Cleveland Browns as a rookie.
