The Las Vegas Raiders will get some much-needed depth back ahead of today’s game against the Houston Texans. Cornerback Anthony Averett has been out since Week 1 with a broken thumb while wide receiver DJ Turner has simultaneously been recovering from a sprained ankle. The Raiders designated both to return from injured reserve earlier this week and made their returns officially yesterday by activating Averett and Turner.
Averett is healthy at the perfect time as Las Vegas also placed starting cornerback Nate Hobbs on IR earlier this week with a broken hand.
