Raiders Worked Out S Su’a Cravens, DL Ethan Westbrooks

According to Aaron Wilson, the Oakland Raiders brought in four players for tryouts in recent days including S Su’a Cravens, LB Will Compton, DT Terrell McClain and DL Ethan Westbrooks.

Of this group, the Raiders elected to sign Compton and McClain to their active roster. 

Cravens, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Redskins back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $4.430 million rookie contract that included $2.523 million guaranteed.

Cravens wound up sitting out the entire 2017 season before the Redskins traded him to the Broncos back in 2018. The Broncos placed him on injured reserve coming out of the preseason and later designated him to return.

Cravens was among Denver’s final roster cuts coming out of the preseason. Since becoming a free agent, he has worked out for the Dolphins and Patriots.

In 2018, Cravens appeared in five games for the Broncos and recorded 16 total tackles.

Westbrooks, 28, wound up signing on with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of West Texas A&M back in 2014. He played out his rookie contract with the Rams before returning on an original-round tender for the 2017 season. 

The Rams would later sign Westbrooks to a one-year, $1.3M contract extension during the 2017 season. He signed on with the Raiders this past July, but was released at the start of the season. 

In 2018, Westbrooks appeared in all 16 games for the Rams and recorded eight tackles, one sack and a pass defense.
