Overview

• JL Sports announced Tuesday night that Las Vegas signed Rhattigan off Pittsburgh’s practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Titans.
• Rhattigan has played 53 NFL games primarily on special teams, logging 1,024 special-teams snaps and 44 tackles with limited defensive action.
• He joined the Steelers’ practice squad just before Week 1, was elevated in Week 2 for six special-teams snaps, and previously spent time with the Seahawks and Panthers.
• The move leaves Pittsburgh with an open practice-squad spot and follows Tampa Bay’s Sept. 30 signing of safety Sebastian Castro from the Steelers’ practice squad.
• PennLive reports the Raiders made the addition after releasing linebacker Germaine Pratt, who started their first four games, signaling a shuffle in their linebacker and special-teams depth.
