Raiders Place LB Marquel Lee On IR, Promote G Lester Cotton

The Oakland Raiders announced Saturday that they placed LB Marquel Lee on injured reserve and promoted G Lester Cotton to their active roster.

The Raiders placed Lee on injured reserve earlier in the year before designating him to return a few months ago. 

Lee, 24, was a fifth-round pick by the Raiders in 2017 out of Wake Forest. He’s in the third year of a four-year, $2.65 million rookie contract and is set to make base salaries of $645,000 and $735,000 the next two seasons. 

In 2019, Lee appeared in five games for the Raiders and recorded 11 tackles.
