Michael Dyer’s belongings were spread out over a corner bench.
The undrafted rookie running back had just made one of his biggest pushes yet to be a part of the Raiders’ 53-man roster, but he couldn’t even secure a locker in the crowded confines of TCF Bank Stadium.
“This is my little corner,” Dyer said after a 12-carry, 45-yard performance against the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday.
The visitor’s locker room on the campus of the University of Minnesota, where the Vikings are playing until their new stadium opens next year, is normally designed for college teams, not a 90-man preseason NFL roster.
