Last season, the Oakland Raiders struggled mightily up front along the offensive line, as they were ravaged by injuries and inconsistent play. With Donald Penn basically non-existent, the Raiders have to plug in rookies at both offensive tackle positions, and that led to Derek Carr running for his life for most of the season.
Kolton Miller was the team’s first round pick in 2018, and he was supposed to be a starter from Day One. With Penn hurt during the summer, Miller stepped in at left tackle, and did not concede the position once Penn was healthy.
