Raiders give NFL royalty another spot on the practice squad in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders seem to have an affinity for NFL royalty this season under the guidance of Pete Carroll and John Spytek. Practice squad wide receiver Shedrick Jackson is the foremost example, as he is the grand-nephew of legendary Raiders running back Bo Jackson. But there's more.

Safety Jeremy Chinn is the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Steve Atwater, who won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos. Fellow safety Isaiah Pola-Mao is also the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu, who won a ring with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Even former Raiders safety Trey Taylor, who was with the team during the preseason, is the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed.
