The news came out late Wednesday night that full back Keith Smith will be injured and miss the first two weeks of training camp.
Smith is a favorite of special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, and that is his true path to make the final 53. Fans remember Smith for his huge drops during the season and slowly faded away after those occurrences.
As reported by Ian Rapport, expect the Raiders to add a fullback to the roster. They might just stick with Alec Ingold of Wisconsin receiving extended reps as well. He was considered the top fullback in the draft, and he might have a chance to turn heads early on if he can display he can catch the football.
