Lester Cotton could make his NFL debut on Sunday -- in London.

The Oakland Raiders signed the Alabama alumnus off their practice squad on Saturday, making him eligible to play on Sunday when they take on the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in the first game of the NFL’s 2019 International Series.

At Alabama, Cotton started 10 games at left guard in 2018 after starting 13 at right guard in 2017. He was not selected in the 2019 NFL Draft and signed with the Raiders in May.

Cotton spent the offseason program, training camp and preseason with Oakland. The Raiders waived Cotton on Aug. 31 when they reduced their 90-player preseason roster to the regular-season limit of 53, then signed him for their practice squad the next day.

Cotton comes off the practice squad to fill the active-roster opening created when the Raiders put offensive lineman Jordan Devey on injured reserve. Devey suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Devey was signed in free agency in the offseason to provide offensive-line depth, but he started all four of Oakland's games. Guard Richie Incognito missed the first two games serving an NFL suspension, and guard Gabe Jackson hasn't played yet after suffering a torn MCL in training camp.

The Raiders hope Jackson will be able to return when they play the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 20 after their open date next week.

Oakland brought up Cotton to provide line depth. The Raiders are expected to start Denzelle Good with Incognito as their guards against the Bears on Sunday. In his fifth season, Good has started 25 NFL games.

Before Alabama and the NFL, Cotton was a first-team All-State offensive lineman for Central High School in Tuscaloosa in 2014.

The Raiders and Bears kick off at noon CDT Sunday.
