Healthy scratch Monday McCourt (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's contest at Detroit.

Could kick for Vegas on Monday The Raiders elevated McCourt from their practice squad prior to Monday's game against the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The decision to elevate McCourt would seem to hint that the Raiders may have some doubt about the availability of kicker Daniel Carlson (groin), who is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The Raiders will release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to that point, which will shed light on whether Carlson will suit up. If Carlson is sidelined for the Week 9 contest, McCourt would be on track to make his NFL debut. During his collegiate career at Illinois, McCourt converted 37 of 52 field-goal attempts (71.2 percent).

Catches on to Vegas' practice squad The Raiders signed McCourt to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact McCourt was cut by the Jaguars on Aug. 29 ahead of the 53-man roster deadline after failing to beat out Brandon McManus for the starting job. McCourt would be the next man up for the kicking job in Las Vegas if anything should happen to current starter Daniel Carlson, who is 11 of 14 on field goals this season.

Inks future deal The Jaguars signed McCourt to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact McCourt signed with the Jaguars' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster to begin the season. The undrafted kicker out of Illinois never made any appearances during his rookie campaign, but with his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the organization and compete for a larger role during the offseason.

Cut Monday McCourt was waived by the Chargers on Monday.

Impact McCourt was let go after he was unable to beat out incumbent starter Dustin Hopkins for the Chargers' kicking job this offseason. The undrafted free agent from Illinois connected on both his extra-point attempts over Los Angeles' first two preseason games, and he may manage to land a contract on the team's practice squad heading into the regular season.
