The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to end their four-game skid this weekend. They will be on the road against the New York Jets, hoping to become 500 after starting 3-0.
The Good news for the team is that the wide receiver room is close to full health. On Saturday, the Raiders activated Jack Bech, who has been injured with a fractured forearm.
With Bech returning to the lineup, the Raiders can use him to help the run game. He hasn’t been a target often for Kirk Cousins, but he can make the Raiders more
versatile personnel-wise. He has a touchdown this season and could be a red-zone threat for the offense.

In a corresponding move, Patrick Johnson was sent to IR. Johnson was a great story this preseason, making the football team after signing right before camp. Now he goes to injury reserve to help make room for Jack Bech on the roster.
