Flip a coin and call heads or tails, and you have nearly the same chance of guessing correctly as Oakland Raiders embattled running back Trent Richardson has of making the team’s final 53-man roster.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Richardson’s chances of playing in Week 1 are “about 50-50.”
The running back is on thin ice to say the least as the preseason begins. Rapoport further elaborated on where things stand for Richardson and the Raiders:
“The reality is (Richardson) has some very real competition, thanks to some newfound depth on this roster,” Rapoport added.
