What happened: The Raiders activated defensive tackle Tim Keenan and defensive end Cian Slone from the practice squad on Saturday to bolster their game-day defensive line rotation.

Why it matters: Saturday marks the second consecutive week the Raiders have elevated Slone, an NC State rookie who remained with the organization after an August roster cutdown. Keenan adds interior depth after a stint on the Rams' practice squad in early September.

What to watch: Both defensive linemen are eligible to suit up for this weekend's regular-season contest before reverting to the practice squad afterward.
