Raiders sign DE Isaac Rochell after Chandler Jones placed on NFI list

After Chandler Jones missed the first two games of the season while he works through some personal issues, the Raiders pulled the trigger this week and placed him on the Non-Football Illness list.

Placement on NFI means Jones will miss at least four games. With a roster spot open and depth issues at defensive end, the Raiders officially signed Isaac Rochell to the active roster.

To fill Rochell’s spot on the practice squad, the Raiders added LB Mykal Walker.
