HENDERSON, Nev. - The Las Vegas Raiders activated two Pro Bowlers off Injured Reserve Saturday in tight end Darren Waller (left hamstring) and slot receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique), in time for Sunday's home game against the New England Patriots at Allegiant Stadium.
While both players signed contract extensions this offseason, the Raiders have had both active in the same game just three times this season, though not since Week 5. Expected to be a major part of first-year coach Josh McDaniels' offense, the two have instead combined to catch 37 passes and 1 touchdown in a combined 11 games, this after Waller had a franchise-record 107 catches with 9 TDs in 2020 and Renfrow caught 103 passes and 9 scores last season.
