The Raiders signed Irving to the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Irving was handed an indefinite suspension by the NFL in March of 2019 for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The league conditionally reinstated the defensive tackle last Friday, and he's found a new home in Las Vegas. It may take some time for the 27-year-old defensive tackle to get up to speed considering he hasn't played since the 2018 season, but the Raiders likely plan to promote him to the active roster at some point. Irving could be a major boost for the team's defensive front, as he posted eight sacks over his last 10 NFL games.

Irving signed a contract with the Raiders on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Irving was handed an indefinite suspension by the NFL in March of 2019 for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The league conditionally reinstated the defensive tackle last Friday, and he's found a new home in Las Vegas. Irving hasn't played since 2018, but he's been a dependable pass rusher with eight sacks over the past 10 games. The Raiders' defensive line hasn't been up to par this year, and depending on how quickly Irving can acclimate, he could be a real boost as the team makes a playoff push.

EDGE Analysis
Irving, who was conditionally reinstated by the NFL on Friday, won't have to wait long before getting his first chance to sign with a new team. The 27-year-old could be a good fit along a Raiders' defensive line that's struggled to consistently manufacture pressure.
