The Jon Gruden 2.0 era is not off to an ideal start in 2018. This is the first time a Raiders team led by Jon Gruden started the season 0-2. The Raiders have been competitive at times but have dug themselves into a hole that they must now get out off.
With the injuries to Justin Ellis and PJ Hall, the Raiders bolstered the defensive line with the additions of free agents Johnathan Hankins and Clinton McDonald. Both were forced into action after spending less than a week with the team along with last week’s waiver wire pickup, Brian Price.
