Raiders make series of roster moves before Texans game
The Raiders are getting some reinforcements on the back end of their defense after a series of transactions Saturday added veteran cornerbacks Anthony Averett and Javelin Guidry to the active roster.
Averett was activated to the roster from the injured reserve list, where he has spent the last four weeks with a broken thumb.
Also activated from the injured reserve was wide receiver DJ Turner, who has missed the last four games with an ankle injury. Guidry has been elevated to the active roster from the practice squad.
To make room for the additions, the Raiders released veteran wide receiver Albert Wilson and also released wide receiver Tyron Johnson from the practice squad.
