If you had day nine as the first time Raiders second year safety Obi Melifonwu would get work with the first team in your office pool, congrats on your winnings. Though there may be a few people who claim it’s not a legit win because he didn’t exactly fight his way up the depth chart. The chart forfeited to him.
Coming off a day away, there were as many safeties injured as on the field. Erik Harris didn’t return to practice today from his finger surgery as Gruden had hoped and he was joined by Marcus Gilchrist (foot), Karl Joseph (groin), and Tevin Mitchell.
