ALAMEDA – The Raiders announced offensive starters before Sunday’s home opener against the New York Jets.
Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington aren’t in that class. The second-year rushers were headed out to the field with everyone else when Marshawn Lynch halted the advance.
“We were getting ready to go out and he was like ‘hey, I want you all to come out with me’. I was like, ‘they cool with this?’” Richard said. “He said ‘It doesn’t matter what they say. You boys are coming out with me.’”
It seemed off. This was, after all, Marshawn’s homecoming.
