Walt Powell Hopes To Shore Up Return Jobs For The Raiders

After a revolving door of players tasked with return duties for the Oakland Raiders, the team signed wide receiver Walt Powell Saturday to hopefully shore up the job for the Silver and Black.

The team selected Florida wide receiver Andre Debose in the 7th round (No. 221 overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft in the hopes that the speedster would grab a hold of the return jobs, but an offseason injury forced him to Injured Reserve before he was really given the shot.

Enter TJ Carrie, who after finding some success in the return game as a rookie, was thrust back into the role this season, but was eventually forced out of commission due to injury.
