ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders brought back running back Gary Russell and released kick returner Justin Miller on Wednesday.
The Raiders re-signed Miller last week but released him after he averaged 17.7 yards on six returns in a 29-6 loss to the Houston Texans.
Russell provides insurance at running back with Darren McFaddenout two to four weeks with a knee injury and also can help out as a kickoff returner. Russell was released by the Raiders at the end of training camp.
