The Raiders have added a veteran linebacker.

The club is signing Steelers practice squad linebacker Jon Rhattigan and adding him to the 53-man roster.

Rhattigan played three seasons under Raiders coach Pete Carroll in Seattle. The Seahawks signed the former Army standout as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He had 32 tackles in his time in the Pacific Northwest.

While Rhattigan replaces the recently released Germaine Pratt on the roster, his role is likely to be far different. Rhattigan has played 1,024 special teams snaps compared to just 20 on defense. The Raiders have struggled all year on special teams, and Rhattigan could lend a helping hand in that part of the game.
