Oakland Raiders fans had high expectations for running back Chris Warren III this summer. After tearing through opposing defenses with his bulldozer-style running last preseason, the hope was that a repeat performance could land him a spot on the 53-man roster.
However, it doesn’t appear as though he’s going to get that chance.
The Raiders made the surprising move to waive Warren on Sunday during just the second day of training camp. In a corresponding move, Oakland re-signed running back James Butler who spent time on the team’s practice squad last season.
