Wednesday morning, we got the terrible news that Isaiah Crowell has been lost for the season to a torn Achilles he suffered in offseason workouts. Even with the drafting of Josh Jacobs in the first round of the draft last week, the Raiders still had big plans for Crowell as a complement to Jacobs.
Crowell has 51 career starts in five NFL seasons and only became available as a free agent because the Jets landed Le’Veon Bell, so he was a good get for the Raiders.
