Shock receiver Raul Vijil has been placed on injured-reserve after suffering a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Spokane's win over Milwaukee last week. Spokane has signed receiver Greg Orton, who was with the team in training camp.

Vijil will be sidelined for at least the next four weeks, which means he'll be eligible to return for the July 30th season-finale against Jacksonville.
