As suspected, the Las Vegas Raiders will be without Marcus Mariota for the coming weeks after the veteran quarterback was placed on the injured reserve with a quad injury.
In a corresponding move, the Raiders signed linebacker Marquel Lee from the practice squad. Guard Lester Cotton and running back Trey Ragas were also activated from the practice squad.

Mariota injured his quad on his lone 31-yard carry in Monday night’s overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran pivot can rejoin the Raiders after he misses the league-mandated three-game minimum.
Nathan Peterman is next on the Raiders depth chart and will be Derek Carr’s backup over the coming weeks.
