Training camp has wrapped up for the Raiders. The Raiders will now have roughly a week to make their decisions on who they cut loose to get down to 53 players.
With 80 players currently on the roster, they will need to cut some 27 players on or before the September 5 deadline. Then a day later, they will begin piecing together their practice squad.
Here is my prediction of what that roster and practice squad will look like:
Quarterbacks (2)
IN: Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota
OUT: Nathan Peterman
Running backs (5)
IN: Josh Jacobs, Alec Ingold, Lynn Bowden Jr, Jalen Richard, Rod Smith
