As the Las Vegas Raiders work to find the right mix on the offensive line, one under-the-radar name to keep an eye on is Lester Cotton.
Cotton worked with the first unit some during the OTA sessions and during the minicamp and continued in the early days of training camp. Then, Monday, Denzelle Good surprisingly retired, leaving Cotton with a real chance to start in the regular season.
New Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels and his staff have an open mind when it comes to the staring five offensive linemen. Both guard spots and maybe right tackle are still open for competition.
