On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders found themselves in a tough position after the sudden retirement of wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Cooper had only been on the team for just over a week, but he was begin relied on as a veteran presence in an otherwise young receiver room. Now, the only veteran receiver on the Raiders is Jakobi Meyers, who has put out a trade request already. With Week One against the New England Patriots on the horizon, the Raiders are now scrambling to make a move.
For now, however, the Raiders will look to make an in-house promotion to shore up depth.
The Raiders have called up a receiver from the practice squad.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Raiders have signed wide receiver Justin Shorter from their practice squad.
