Raiders Wide Receiver Battle Heating Up

During the offseason the Oakland Raiders organization set about upgrading several position groups. Perhaps one of the most drastic makeovers concerns the wide receivers. Twelve players make up the receiving corps at the moment, although it’s not the same 12 that started training camp three-and-a-half weeks ago.

The group is also down a body right now with Andre Holmes out with what published reports described as a fractured hand. Rod Streater began camp on the Non-Football Illness list and finally made his way onto the practice field a few days ago.

Veteran Michael Crabtree was signed as a free agent April 13, and Amari Cooper was selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft a few weeks later.
