The Raiders put tight end Andy Parker on injured reserve Wednesday with a hamstring pull and signed free agent Ken Wisenhunt to take his place. Wisenhunt spent the 1989 season on injured reserve with the Washington Redskins.

The team also activated cornerback Garry Lewis from injured reserve and put him on the practice squad in preparation for his probable return to the roster for the Raiders’ game in Kansas City Nov. 4.

Lewis returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since breaking his collarbone against Pittsburgh on Sept. 23. The team also announced it has re-signed tight end Rich Bartlewski to the five-man practice squad.
