ALAMEDA — Raiders quarterback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie announced his retirement on social media Tuesday.
Rodgers-Cromartie, 32, went from 55 snaps on defense in London against Seattle to zero in a 42-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He signed at the start of the regular season when the Raiders were looking for veteran help at cornerback after it was learned Daryl Worley had been suspended for four games for being in violation of the NFL’s policy on substance abuse.
The Raiders also played rookie fourth-round pick Nick Nelson (21 snaps) at cornerback for the first time this season against Indianapolis and are hoping to increase his playing time.
