Oakland- After having a satisfying NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders are now in a nightmare that they can not fight off. On Tuesday, during a workout session, veteran running back Isaiah Crowell tore his Achilles tendon and will likely be out for the rest of the season.
Thankfully, the Raiders drafted Josh Jacobs and he will probably get more snaps his first year as a rookie in the NFL. However, with a young running back, as well as rebuilding system it will be pretty interesting to see how Jacobs will fare. Crowell was supposed to be the back that could help out with pass protection, as well as burst through the stems of defenses, but now the pressure will be on Jacobs and his productivity coming out of the backfield.
