Raiders sign three more familiar faces to practice squad

The Raiders’ practice squad is nearly filled, as the team has brought back three players they cut yesterday.

Rico Gafford stood out in preseason with his blazing speed, catching a deep touchdown from Mike Glennon against the Cardinals. He also pounced on a Keon Hatcher fumble that helped seal the win against the Packers.

Quinton Bell has rare athletic talent, but could definitely use more time to develop as a pass-rusher after converting from receiver in college. He was very raw in preseason, but the talent is there.

Mabin will find it difficult to break into Oakland’s secondary rotation, but a team can never have too many cornerbacks. Keisean Nixon made the team straight up, but Mabin is quality depth to keep around.
