One of the positions with dramatic change for the Las Vegas Raiders due to the coaching change was at defensive tackle. This week’s trade of Johnathan Hankins has further changed the rotation at the position.
Now, the Raiders’ rotation at defensive tackle consists of starters Bilal Nichols and Andrew Billings and Kendal Vickers and rookie Neil Farrell. Rookie Matthew Butler is usually inactive. Only Vickers is a holdover from the previous regime. The new brass re-signed Hankins this offseason, but he play time was dwindling and he was even healthy scratch in Week 5 at Kansas City.
