The Las Vegas Raiders have promoted promising young cornerback Tyler Hall to the 53-man roster and in the process placed fellow cornerback Anthony Averett on the injured reserve.
Averett, who signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in the offseason and who was a starter, suffered a toe injury in the second quarter of a 40-34 overtime win at the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. This is Averett’s second stint on the injured reserve this season, so his season is over. He suffered a thumb injury in Week 1 and missed four games.
