There was a time this offseason when Nevin Lawson was considered the next man up at cornerback after the Raiders three starters. That ended when the offseason addition was handed a 4-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. That suspension is now over, allowing him to return to the team if they still want him.
Lawson was a former starter for the Lions who was signed as a free agent this offseason. He has never had an interception in his career and with the way he played in preseason for the Raiders it become pretty evident why.
