There were hints of what we saw on the Las Vegas Raiders’ interior defensive line Sunday in training camp. Coach Jon Gruden was very complimentary of free-agent addition Maliek Collins and Johnathan Hankins.
Gruden didn’t talk a lot about third-year player Maurice Hurst, who was considered a foundation player. During camp, I was told that the Raiders still like Hurst, but they are excited about other players in the rotation as well.
That was evident in Week 1 as the Raiders won at Carolina on Sunday.
