Justin Shorter was activated from the practice squad to address the tight end position amid injuries on the team. He made his NFL debut last week, participating in three offensive snaps and 12 special teams snaps. Shorter had been signed to the practice squad after being released by the Buffalo Bills during roster cuts in August. His activation comes as the Raiders navigate the absence of key players, and he could play a more significant role in the upcoming game.

Justin Shorter was among the 34 players released by the Bills, but he quickly secured a spot on the Las Vegas Raiders' Practice Squad, highlighting his ability to find new opportunities following his departure from Buffalo.
