The Las Vegas Raiders have placed linebacker Brennan Jackson on the Reserve/Injured list, allowing them to sign defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi. Jackson, who played three games last season, suffered an injury serious enough for placement on IR, though his status may allow for a future return. Following a disappointing performance in their first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, where the defense struggled, the Raiders are looking to improve ahead of the regular season. Coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged the team's excessive penalties, which totaled eight for 75 yards, as a significant area for correction moving forward.
