With the Las Vegas Raiders playing at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 in just three days, it’s a good time to remind all of this — Bilal Nichols is going to be a key to the defense.
Nichols may have fell to the back of mind of many fans because he was on PUP list until mid-August and has been working his way back from an injury suffered in the offseason. Yet, Nichols is now completely healthy and ready to be the impact player at defensive tackle that the Raiders signed him away from the Chicago Bears in free agency.
