Raiders sign LB Malik Reed off practice squad, waive WR Kristian Wilkerson

For the second time since the depature of Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler, the Raiders new head coach/GM duo of Antonio Pierce and Champ Kelly have parted ways with offseason free agent additions.

Thursday the team announced they had waived cornerback David Long Jr. Saturday they said goodbye to wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson.

In both cases, the team did so in order to add a linebacker. Thursday it was signing Jaylon Smith off the Saints practice squad. And Saturday it was signing Malik Reed off their own practice squad.

Reed went undrafted out of Nevada in 2019. He played three seasons with the Broncos before being traded to the Steelers. He hit free agency this offseason, signing with the Dolphins, but was released following training camp. He has been on the Raiders practice squad much of this season.

Along with Reed’s signing, the Raiders also elevated WR DJ Turner and G Netane Muti from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Giants.
