Raiders right tackle Marshall Newhouse has officially been ruled out for Thursday’s home game against the hated Kansas City Chiefs. This opens the door for back up tackle Vadal Alexander to take the field at the position. Poor play had his previous outing last a whole 9 snaps.
“Well, he’s started.” Head coach Jack Del Rio said after practice Wednesday. “He’s playing well. We’re a next man up outfit. Vadal Alexander, he’ll be the guy that will start there. We believe in Vadal. He’s part of the battle there.
