USA TODAY Sports

The Las Vegas Raiders have made two more moves with their practice squad this week.

The club announced Tuesday that it has signed Keelan Cole Sr. to the practice squad and, correspondingly, has released wide receiver Antoine Wesley from the practice squad.

Cole was released as part of the Raiders' 53-man roster cuts on Aug. 29.

He registered 98 receiving yards and a touchdown this preseason.

Cole enters his seventh NFL season and second with Las Vegas, having first signed with the team in May of 2022.

He made four starts in 13 games for the Silver and Black last season, having posted 141 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Prior to joining the Raiders, Cole had a one-year stint with the New York Jets, with whom he totaled 449 receiving yards and a touchdown while starting in 11 out of 15 games.

The veteran wideout played the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who signed Cole as an undrafted free agent in 2017.

Cole attained 2,242 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 152 receptions in his 64 games with Jacksonville.

He made 23 starts.

Wesley, a Las Vegas native, was signed to the practice squad on Aug. 30.

The 25-year-old wideout has had just one active campaign in the NFL, which was the 2021 season when he started in four of his 15 game appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

He recorded 208 receiving yards and three touchdowns that year.

Prior to that, Wesley was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech in 2019.

He played three seasons for the Red Raiders and was named an All-American for his junior campaign in 2021-22 after he notched 1,410 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 88 receptions while starting in all 12 games.

Wesley finished his career at Texas Tech with 1,547 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 98 receptions.

The Silver and Black open the regular season at the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 4:25 p.m. EDT/1:25 p.m. PDT.
