RB George Atkinson III gives Raiders food for thought with big runs in win over Cardinals

Oakland Raiders running back George Atkinson III, son of the longtime Oakland Raiders safety, put on a show as the third-string running back in the Raiders' 31-10 preseason-opening victory Friday over the Arizona Cardinals. With undrafted rookie Jalen Richard not suiting up, Atkinson broke off touchdown runs of 53 and 35 yards and finished with 97 yards on five carries. Did he play his way onto an initial 53-man roster. Stay tuned.

QB depth chart: Derek Carr threw “go” balls on four of his seven passes, so it is obvious the Raiders were working on their deep game.
