There is a youth movement in Oakland as the team has shifting into full rebuild mode. That means there is no sense in a 35-year-old safety taking the field. For that reason, Reggie Nelson is inactive for today’s game.
Expected to see some considerable playing time in the game is Karl Joseph and Erik Harris as the team looks to see what they have in them.
For Joseph, it could be either for the future as a player, or the future with regard to draft picks they can yield in a trade.
