Raiders claim QB Kizer off waivers from Packers

The Oakland Raiders claimed quarterback DeShone Kizer off waivers from the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Kizer was among the Packers' cuts on Saturday as the team trimmed down its roster to 53 players.

The Raiders already have three quarterbacks on their roster, so it's likely the team will part ways with Mike Glennon or Nathan Peterman, the current backups behind starter Derek Carr.

Kizer was waived Saturday less two years after he started 15 games for the Cleveland Browns as a rookie.
