The Oakland Raiders made safety Nate Allen one of their biggest signings of 2015 Free Agency, but his time on the field hasn’t given the team much of a return after Allen spent a long stint on the injured list following an MCL tear back in Week 1. Forcing Allen to miss the rest of the first half of the season, a blow for the Raiders despite their 4-3 record in Allen’s absence after Week 1.
Now with the Raiders in the thick of the AFC Wild Card race, Allen is set to make his return this Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings come to town in a game that is crucial for Oakland to stay with momentum and to regain a winning record with a home win.
