The Oakland Raiders signed linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu to their active roster from the team’s practice squad, the team announced Saturday.

Filimoeatu originally signed with Oakland as an undrafted free agent in May, and was waived by the team at the end of training camp before signing to the practice squad two days later.

He started all 26 games during his two-year college career (2011-12) at Utah State and registered 112 tackles (48 solo), eight sacks, one interception, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

In his senior season, he had 71 tackles and five sacks. The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder spent the 2013 season recovering from a knee injury.

To make room on the roster, the Raiders placed cornerback Taiwan Jones on the reserve/injured list.
