Overview

• Pickett is expected to serve as the Raiders’ No. 2 quarterback while O’Connell recovers, with the timeline estimated at six to eight weeks.
• Cleveland will carry three quarterbacks into Week 1 — Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders — and Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Gabriel is the backup.
• Deshaun Watson was placed on the reserve/PUP list and will miss at least the first four games as he continues Achilles rehab.
• The move restores the fifth-round pick Cleveland parted with in March when it acquired Pickett from the Eagles.
• Pickett missed the preseason with a July hamstring injury, and Raiders coach Pete Carroll emphasized adding a passer with game experience.
