Del Rio: Justin Ellis has edge on Dan Williams

NAPA — Dan Williams was a 15-game starter for the Raiders last season at defensive tackle.

But as the team hits its first off day of training camp Tuesday, Williams continues to get his work with the second-team defense. Coach Jack Del Rio said he’s seeing what he needs to from the seventh-year pro.

“Dan is doing good, working hard,” Del Rio said. “He’s doing everything he needs to do.”

But the player who is earning $7.35 million this year isn’t currently in line to be a starter in a base defense that continues to show a 5-2 look.
