ALAMEDA, Calif. >> The Oakland Raiders have promoted safety Ras-I Dowling and linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu from the practice squad to the active roster.
Oakland also placed safety Larry Asante on season-ending injured reserve with a shoulder injury Saturday to make room on the roster. The Raiders had one open spot on their 53-man roster after cutting linebacker Jamar Chaney earlier in the week.
Dowling was signed to the practice squad in September. He played nine games with New England in 2011-12. Filimoeatu has appeared in five games for the Raiders this season. He has 10 tackles.
Both players will be available when the Raiders (2-11) visit Kansas City (7-6) on Sunday.
