The Oakland Raiders were in desperate need of some linebacker help following a slew of injuries and misfortune at the position and they signed veteran Preston Brown on Monday to help alleviate those concerns.
Brown joins a long list of recently-signed defensive veterans who have been counted on as plug-and-play contributors in recent weeks. The likes to Will Compton, D.J. Swearinger, and Dion Jordan have all been called upon to play significant snaps just days after being signed by the team.
Expect Brown to be no different.
