Teamer has been out of action since Week 6 with a hamstring injury, although he was reinstated from IR on Saturday before ultimately being declared inactive for Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Raiders' Roderic Teamer: Finds new home
Rotowire
Teamer inked a contract with the Raiders on Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Teamer will reunite with his former defensive cordinator Gus Bradley, with Teamer having played for Bradley while he was with the Chargers. Teamer failed to see action in 2020, but he racked up 40 tackles (30 solo), one sack and an interception in seven games for the Chargers in 2019. The Tulane product joins a congested secondary unit, so it'll be tough for Teamer to crack the 53-man roster this offseason.

Rotowire
Teamer recorded eight tackles, a sack and a pass defensed across 82 snaps in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Chargers' Roderic Teamer: Continues to pile up tackles
Rotowire
Teamer tallied nine tackles (five solo) in the 20-13 loss Sunday to the Broncos.
Teamer's been a relatively nice find in IDP leagues with both Derwin James (foot) and Adrian Phillips (forearm) on injured reserve, recording 18 tackles combined in three weeks since becoming the starter at safety. The rookie's coverage issues have been prominent, but against the Steelers, who could be starting third-string quarterback Devlin Hodges, Teamer could once again register a team high in tackles.

Chargers' Roderic Teamer: Nets seven tackles
Rotowire
Teamer recorded seven tackles (six solo) in the 27-20 loss Sunday to the Texans.
The rookie struggled at times in coverage, but still managed to tie linebacker Thomas Davis for the team lead in tackles despite the uneven outing. It remains to be seen if Nasir Adderley or Jaylen Watkins will chip away at Teamer's playing time in the future, but for now the undrafted safety seems to have a grapple on the job vacated by Derwin James (foot) and Adrian Phillips (forearm).
