Paul Gutierrez joined NFL Nation in 2013 and serves as its Las Vegas Raiders reporter. He has a multi-platform role - writing on ESPN.com, television appearances on NFL Live and Sports Center, and podcast and radio appearances.

Injuries wreaked havoc with the Raiders' roster this season as, per the team, 31.8% of Las Vegas' Week 1 starters spent time on injured reserve (tied for the highest percentage in the league) and, with the second-youngest roster in the NFL (average age was 25 years, 344 days), 37.6% of the snaps played were by first- or second-year players (the third-highest mark in the league). The Raiders, under Telesco and Pierce, endured a 10-game losing streak, their longest skid since opening the 2014 season 0-10.
