The Oakland Raiders have placed defensive end Matt Shaughnessy on season-ending injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

The team made the move Wednesday to make room on the 53-man roster for new quarterback Carson Palmer.

Shaughnessy injured his shoulder in Week 3 against the New York Jets and has not played since. He had seven sacks last season and the Raiders were counting on big things from Shaughnessy in his third season.

Defensive tackle Desmond Bryant has started the last two games at end and pass rushers Trevor Scott and Jarvis Moss have also gotten more time to make up for the loss of Shaughnessy.

The Raiders also signed offensive lineman Zach Hurd to the practice squad.
