The Oakland Raiders kicked off their 2018 preseason schedule with a win on Friday night, as they beat the Detroit Lions inside the Oakland Coliseum. It was the first win, albeit a preseason win, for head coach Jon Gruden in his return to Oakland, where the hope is he can bring back that winning swagger from over 15 years ago.
With Friday’s game fresh in our minds, we take a look at a projected 53-man roster for the Raiders, who will take on the Los Angeles Rams in preseason game No. 2 on Saturday afternoon.
Special Teams (3): K Eddy Pineiro, P Johnny Townsend, LS Andrew DePaola
The job of starting kicker for the Raiders was supposed to come down to a battle this summer, with rookie Eddy Pineiro trying to take the spot from holdover Giorgio Tavecchio.
