Ingold has been a big part of the offense for the Raiders this season and is a key special teams contributor. He was also named a special teams captain this year and was among the most loved teammates on the roster.
Ingold was a free-agent addition by the Raiders after the 2019 draft and has played in every game since. During the 2021 season, he has caught nine passes for 80 yards and one touchdown.
Look for the Raiders to add a fullback to their roster before their Week 11 game against the Bengals.
