And we really didn”t see that for him.” Nicholas Morrow (50) is back for a third season with the Raiders as an outside linebacker. Nhat V. If Brandon wasn’t going to be in a high percentage of snaps, we needed him to play all of the special teams. Mayock quote: “We were only going to keep four or five linebackers, which is the way the NFL is going because of spread offenses. Morrow’s athleticism and potential in coverage won out over Marshall. OUT: Brandon Marshall, Jason Cabinda Te’Von Coney, James Cowser, Koa Farmer, Bryson Allen-Williams.ĪNALYSIS:If it seems a little light for the 53-man roster, keep in mind the Raiders will usually have only two on the field at the same time with the amount of sub packages they’ll use during the course of a game. IN: Tahir Whitehead, Vontaze Burfict, Nicholas Morrow, Marquel Lee. I think as we go ahead with younger, more athletic, consistent, available players, we felt that was a roster spot we could use in a different direction.” Defensive tackle Justin Ellis was placed on injured reserve, likely ending his career with the Raiders. Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group Mayock quote: “Jelly (Justin Ellis) has been hurt and it’s been hard to evaluate him because of that. Westbrooks’ spot was in jeopardy the moment Liuget was brought aboard. Looks like a vote of confidence for Ellis.
OUT: Justin Ellis, Anthony Rush, Ethan Westbrooks, Gabe Wright, Alex Barrett, Eddie Vanderdoes, Quinton Bell.ĪNALYSIS: The Raiders went ahead and exposed Rush to the waiver wire after an impressive exhibition season and it remains to be seen if he’ll come back to them in the practice squad. Hall, Corey Liuget, Maurice Hurst, Benson Mayowa, Maxx Crosby. IN: Clelin Ferrell, Johnathan Hankins, Josh Mauro, Arden Key, P.J. We projected him inside as a scouting staff and Tom’s taken that and James had an outstanding camp.” Guard/center Andre James of UCLA is one of four undrafted rookies to make the 53-man roster. AP Photo He was a left tackle at UCLA and not really a highly rated left tackle. Mayock quote: “Andre James, I’ll tell you Tom Cable has done a great job with him. Note: Richie Incognito begins the season with a two-game suspension. Jackson is eligible to be placed on designated for return injured reserve on Sunday, but the Raiders may carry him on the 53 until he’s healthy since it may only be four games. OUT: T Justin Murray, T Tyler Roemer, G Denver Kirkland, Cameron Hunt.ĪNALYSIS: The big surprise is James, the undrafted rookie from UCLA who wasn’t projected on anyone’s 53-man roster when camp started.

Carrier can do a little bit of everything including being a core player on special teams. Moreau, a rookie fourth-round pick, is already a favorite of the coaching staff for his tenacity and willingness to mix it up. IN: Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Derek Carrier.ĪNALYSIS: Waller was given an opportunity to be Jared Cook’s replacement in the passing game and passed with flying colors. that was a very difficult cut.” Hunter Renfrow made it clear from the outset he was going to be on the 53-man roster as a slot receiver. Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group Mayock quote: “We have strong feelings about Keelan Doss.

Worth noting that of the 187 snaps Doss played in four exhibition games, none of them came on special teams. Grant and Nelson win out over Doss, the “Hard Knocks” darling from Alameda. OUT: Keelan Doss, Marcell Ateman, Keon Hatcher, De’Mornay Pierson-ElĪNALYSIS: Brown, Williams and Renfrow were never in doubt. Nelson, Dwayne Harrisįor complete Oakland Raiders coverage follow us on Flipboard. IN: Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, Ryan Grant, J.J.
