The Las Vegas Raiders made official a roster move that had been expected since Sunday.
Wide receiver Cody White has been signed to the active roster with receiver Jack Bech being moved to injured reserve.
White has been called up from the practice squad for each of the first three games.
He made a big play on special teams in the opener and has scored three touchdowns in the last two weeks.
The 27-year-old Michigan State alum has only been targeted five times the last two weeks, but all three catches have come in the end zone.
White is more known for his special teams acumen and has played 56 percent of the snaps for those units this season.
He had just one career touchdown in four NFL seasons before last week, which came last year when he played under current Raiders coach Klint Kubiak in Seattle.
“All he does is produce and work hard,” Kubiak said of White on Sunday. “Very happy for No. 82. Glad we got him.”
Bech suffered a broken forearm in the victory over the Saints.
“We’ll get him back,” Kubiak said Monday of Bech.
The Raiders also brought back former first-round pick Phillip Dorsett to the practice squad, releasing Justin Shorter.
Dorsett spent most of last season on the practice squad and was released by the Raiders late in training camp.
