The Las Vegas Raiders are showing the NFL world why it's important to have multiple able bodies on the offensive line.
It’s already proven to be important, as left tackle Kolton Miller is expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to General Manager Tom Telesco.GM Tom Telesco addressed the status of G Jackson Powers-Johnson and OT Kolton Miller before practice today. He said Powers-Johnson should be back in the "short term." He's hopeful Miller can return in "a couple weeks."Thankfully, the Raiders do not have to look far to find a short-term replacement.
If not Peat, third-round rookie DJ Glaze can also step in. Starting right tackle Thayer Munford could slide to the other side of the line while one of Peat or Glaze fills in at right. While Miller should be back in a couple of weeks, it’s good to know there is a plan in place in case any of the Raiders’ offensive linemen go down during the season.
Having depth on the offensive line is important. Telesco and the Raiders know that. They took it a step further and brought in former Pro Bowlers as depth pieces, which is about the best insurance out there.
