Five days ago, Jeremy Hill was excited to be getting a workout with the Raiders after nearly two seasons away from football.
Monday, he tweeted out “It’s official, I’m a Raider now….#raidernation LET’S GET IT.” A tweet he has since deleted. It was essentially replaced with a new tweet: “That was fast”
Just two days after he was signed by the Raiders, he was cut loose, confirmed by Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
It isn’t really Hill’s fault. He was signed because the team was down a running back after Devontae Booker tested positive for COVID-19. but Tuesday Booker was cleared and returned to the active roster, so Hill was let go.
That’s tough. For Hill’s part, he at least gets his name out there for other teams or even for the Raiders should they again find themselves in need of a running back at some point during camp. Hill needed the mention because his last NFL snap was September 9, 2018.
