Raiders Claim DT Brodric Martin, Waive DE Jahfari Harvey

Coaches expect Martin to sit this week, reflecting a late-season evaluation focus.

Overview

  • Las Vegas claimed the former Lions third-round pick off waivers on December 19 after Pittsburgh released him.
  • To open a roster spot, the team waived recently promoted defensive end Jahfari Harvey, who could return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
  • Pete Carroll said timing and equipment needs make it unlikely Martin will play Sunday against the Texans.
  • The Raiders used their high waiver priority, tied to a 2-12 record, to secure the interior lineman.
  • Carroll said coordinator Patrick Graham and line coach Rob Leonard had tracked Martin for years and value his big presence inside.
