Silver Minings: Josh McDaniels was happy to see Clelin Ferrell on the field.

The Las Vegas Raiders taking Clelin Ferrell with the fourth pick in the draft was a reach to most football fans. Ferrell hasn’t lived up to the draft position either, eventually becoming a backup to Yannick Ngakoue last season under Gus Bradley.

Chandler Jones replaced Ngakoue keeping Ferrell in the same role. Many thought he would take the opportunity to move inside, but he continues to push for snaps as an edge rusher. He saw his first action on Friday night, playing 14 snaps, and Josh McDaniels was excited to see him out there.

“I saw him play some snaps in some different packages yesterday, McDaniels said.
