Raiders Upgrade Tyler Hall to Active Roster, Anthony Averett to IR
Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Tyler Hall continues to prove his worth as a member of the active roster.
The Raiders announced on Tuesday that Hall has been signed to the active roster, making it three consecutive weeks that the first-year Raider has been upgraded from the practice squad.
After totaling three solo tackles, a tackle for a loss, a quarterback hit, and an important late-game sack in the Raiders' Week 11 victory over the Denver Broncos, Hall followed that outing with a two-tackle performance in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks, taking the field for almost twice as many defensive snaps as he did the week before.
Las Vegas is Hall's third home in three years. He was waived by the Los Angeles Rams early in September, where he had been a part of last season's title team.
The Raiders signed him to their practice squad on Oct. 11.
Hall was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Atlanta Falcons in 2020 after playing four years for the University of Wyoming.
Along with this transaction, the Raiders also announced that cornerback Anthony Averett has been placed on the injured reserve list after the five-year pro sustained a toe injury in Las Vegas' Week 12 victory over the Seahawks.
Averett already had missed five of the Raiders' first six games of the season because of a broken thumb that he sustained in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Since returning in Week 7, Averett has recorded 13 combined tackles and one pass defensed.
The former Baltimore Ravens cornerback was anticipated to be a valuable piece in the Raiders secondary when the franchise signed him in March, but injuries have limited him from having much of an impact.
