John Samuel Shenker: Everything you need to know

The Raiders reverted Shenker to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Shenker was elevated for Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Chargers and played all 12 of his snaps on special teams. The 26-year-old ended up playing in eight contests for Las Vegas during the regular season -- five as part of the active roster and three as a practice-squad elevation -- and totaled one catch on one target for seven yards.

The Raiders elevated Shenker from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday. Shenker is being elevated for the third straight week to provide tight-end depth and to work on special teams. Over the Raiders' past two games, the Auburn product has tallied five offensive snaps and 35 special-teams snaps. Shenker will likely log a similar workload Sunday in the team's season finale against the Chargers.

Shenker reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Shenker was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row ahead of Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on offense and 20 snaps on special teams. The tight end seems likely to be added to the active roster again for the team's regular-season finale in Week 18 against the Chargers.
