More from Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders are apparently going to be looking elsewhere for somebody who can help give the running game a little spark of life. Running back Roy Helu has been released after starting training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. The move comes as little to no surprise to anybody as Helu, signed last offseason, failed to give the Raiders much of anything in 2015.
Coming off four seasons in Washington, where he was something of a change of pace back, but more primarily, a receiving threat out of the backfield, GM Reggie McKenzie signed him to a two year deal, hoping to get some of that versatility and energy into Oakland’s running game.
