Raiders Sign LB Donnerson to Practice Squad
by Tom LaMarre
The Oakland Raiders signed free agent linebacker Kendall Donnerson to their practice squad and in a corresponding move released defensive end Quinton Bell, the team announced on Twitter.
The 6-3, 249-pound Donnerson was selected in the seventh round (No. 248 overall) out of Southeast Missouri State by the Green Bay Packers in the 2018 NFL Draft and did not appear in a game, spending most of the season on the practice squad.
This season, Donnerson was placed on the Reserve/Injured list by the Packers on Aug. 8 after sustaining a hamstring injury during training camp and was released 11 days later.
As a senior at Southeast Missouri State, he posted career highs of 53 tackles, 13.5 tackles for losses and six sacks while earning first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors.
The 6-4, 253-pound Bell, a native of Long Beach, was selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft (No. 230 overall) out of Prairie View A&M by the Raiders before being waived on Aug. 31 and signed to the practice squad.
