Raiders release defensive tackle Joseph to make way for receiver Lelie
ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders released defensive tackle William Joseph on Tuesday to make room on the roster for receiver Ashley Lelie.
Lelie officially signed his one-year contract Tuesday, forcing the Raiders to create a roster spot for him. They did it by cutting ties with Joseph, who made little impact after signing as a free agent in the off-season.
Lelie joined the Raiders just days after being cut by the 49ers. He had 10 catches for 115 yards last season for San Francisco while struggling with injuries, including a strained quadriceps.
