Through the first five games of the season, the Raiders have been short-handed. Starting right guard Gabe Jackson has been on the shelf with a knee sprain since the beginning of training camp. However, the team has managed to stay afloat with a 3-2 record, and the big man could return against the Green Bay Packers in week seven.
Ever since becoming a member of Oakland’s illustrious 2014 draft class, Jackson has started every game he has played in but one. While Jordan Devey and Denzelle Good have been serviceable replacements, the return of the five-year starter will help take the Silver and Black’s offense to the next level.
