One of the bright spots of the Las Vegas Raiders’ home loss to the Washington Football Team on Sunday was the play of third-round picks, linebacker Divine Deablo and defensive end Malcom Koonce.
Deablo has been primarily a special teamer this season and Koonce didn’t play this season until Sunday. Deablo was forced into action because of multiple injuries at linebacker and Koonce was active for the second time this season only because of a knee injury kept key backup Carl Nassib out.
Deablo had 11 tackles and Koonce registered a sack on one of his seven defensive snaps.
