After weeks of Jon Gruden saying Obi Melifonwu was “still being evaluated” for a mystery injury he suffered in camp, the Raiders have now officially waived him.
The 2017 round two pick missed all but five games last season with injury and was twice placed on injured reserve.
The move to waive Melifonwu was made in order to add free agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers Cromartie.
