Silver Minings: Greg Olson talks Raiders’ running back situation

The Las Vegas Raiders’ running back room has been a hot topic of discussion this offseason. It started in free agency when the Raiders gave Kenyan Drake a rather large contract to fill a secondary role with the team. More recently, position coach Kirby Wilson retired and three out of four of Las Vegas’ running backs were listed on the injury report to begin training camp, leaving Josh Jacobs as the only healthy ball carrier.

Drake is on the physically unable to perform list, while Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick are on the COVID-19 reserve list.
