Raiders add veteran QB to practice squad ahead of season opener
The Raiders signed veteran quarterback Jeff Driskel to their practice squad Monday.
The team also added linebacker Brian Asamoah II to the practice squad and released linebacker Matt Jones and safety Trey Taylor.
Driskel, 32, was a sixth-round pick of the 49ers in 2016. He has played games for the Texans, Bengals, Broncos, Lions, Browns and Commanders. The Louisiana Tech alum has completed 58.6 percent of his career passes for 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Driskel joins Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett and rookie Cam Miller in the Raiders’ quarterback room.
Asamoah, 25, was a third-round pick of the Vikings in 2022. He has 30 tackles in 46 NFL games.
Jones signed with the Raiders this year as an undrafted free agent. Taylor was a seventh-round pick in 2024 and appeared in nine games last season.
The Raiders open their season Sunday against the Patriots.
