The Oakland Raiders are dealing with a number of injuries at the linebacker position at the moment. And as such, the team signed former “Last Chance U” star Dakota Allen to help alleviate their issues.
Starting linebackers Vontaze Burfict and Nicholas Morrow both went down during Sunday’s 34-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings leaving the Raiders very thin at linebacker. That was made even worse when reserve linebacker Marquel Lee also exited with an ankle injury.
And on Tuesday, the team make the decision to place Lee on the injured reserve, potentially ending his season.
