Raiders activate DT Ellis from IR
The Oakland Raiders activated Justin Ellis from injured reserve on Saturday, making the defensive tackle eligible to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ellis has played in just one game this season, having suffered a foot injury in the Raiders' season opener.
The Raiders waived offensive lineman Denver Kirkland to make room for Ellis on the roster.
Ellis, a fifth-year player who turns 28 later this month, was selected by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2014 draft and has been a starter for most of his career. He was re-signed by the Raiders to a three-year, $13.5 million deal in March and is under contract through the 2020 season.
Kirkland played in six games for the Raiders this season.
