For the majority of the weekend, Alex Leatherwood dominated a lot of the talk about the right tackle the Las Vegas Raiders will be getting rid of this week. However, the Raiders ended up placing Brandon Parker on injured reserve Sunday afternoon, meaning he won’t play for the team this season and his five-year run with the organization is likely over.
Parker began training camp as the favorite to win the starting job, but an abysmal performance in the Hall of Fame game cast doubt on his viability to fill said role. Then, a tricep injury kept him off the practice field and from a chance to redeem himself as he hasn’t suited up since the beginning of the month.
