Raiders claim QB Kizer off waivers, source says

The Oakland Raiders claimed quarterback DeShone Kizer off waivers from the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.

Kizer was among the Packers' cuts on Saturday as the team trimmed down to their initial 53-man roster.

The Raiders currently have three quarterbacks on their roster so it's likely that Kizer's addition will mean the team will move on from 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.
