Notre Dame in the NFL: Oakland Raiders Claim DeShone Kizer; Jacksonville Jaguars Cut Ben Koyack

The Oakland Raiders have scooped up former Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback DeShone Kizer from the waiver wire, while the Jacksonville Jaguars cut Ben Koyack after claiming two tight ends off the wire.

Kizer, who lead the Irish during the 2015 and 2016 seasons, was cut Saturday by the Green Bay Packers. It’s assumed — although not yet made official — that either Mike Glennon or Nathan Peterman will be cut to accommodate Kizer. The Raiders’ starting quarterback is Derek Carr, who signed a five-year, $125 million contract in 2017.
