Former Mizzou DL Kony Ealy has yet to play in an NFL game this season after being cut by the Dallas Cowboys following the preseason.

However, the former Carolina Panther, New England Patriot, New York Jet and Dallas Cowboy is reportedly rejoining the NFL ranks.

Ealy, a second-round pick back in 2014, is expected to sign with the Oakland Raiders, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport:

The Raiders are an abysmal 1-7, but an NFL paycheck is an NFL paycheck. Ealy has 90 tackles and 15 sacks in his NFL career.

What role he plays in Oakland remains to be seen, but the Raiders desperately need players who can get after the quarterback.
