Raiders make 4 roster moves ahead of season opener game week
· Yahoo Sports
Game week is on tap for the Raiders for the season opener against the Miami Dolphins. And the Raiders had a few more roster moves to make as preparation begins.
The team has added DT Tim Keenan III and FB/TE Patrick Gurd to the practice squad while releasing DT Gary Smith and S Devin Lafayette from the practice squad.

Keenan was a 7th round pick by the Rams in this year's draft out of Alabama. The 6-1, 327-pounder is the latest attempt at finding a reserve nose tackle after Folorunso Fatukasi won that job out of camp.
Gurd is brought back into the fold after spending the offseason and training camp with the Raiders. He is labeled as a tight end, but played primarily full back in camp and preseason for the Raiders.
Smith and Lafayette are both undrafted rookies who were waived by the team in the roster cuts and brought back onto the practice squad last week.
