The Las Vegas Raiders announce they’ve signed wide receiver Albert Wilson from the practice squad to the main roster.
According to a press release from the team, Wilson joined the team after “spending time with the Miami Dolphins (2019 and 2021) and Kansas City Chiefs (2014-17).”
“He has played in 89 games with 38 starts over his seven-year career, recording 218 receptions for 2,499 yards and 12 touchdowns,” the press release reads. “He has also rushed 27 times for 160 yards and one touchdown, while completing 2-of-3 passes for 72 yards and one touchdown.”
Wilson also holds the Georgia State records for all-time leader in receptions (175), receiving yards (3,190), and receiving touchdowns (23). The team also announced the signing of receiver Tyron Johnson and cornerback Tyler Hall to the practice squad.
While no decision has yet been made, there is an expectation that Davante Adams could face disciplinary action, including suspension, for shoving a person following Monday night’s loss to the Chiefs.
