Description

The Las Vegas Raiders made significant roster changes during their week eight bye, with several injured players returning and veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett joining the team. Despite Lockett's recent underwhelming performance, his signing was welcomed by fans due to his past connection with head coach Pete Carroll. However, the decision to bench rookie Dont'e Thornton Junior sparked controversy, as fans believe he should be given more playing time for future growth. With a challenging game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaching, all eyes are on Lockett to make an impact and potentially pave the way for more opportunities for the team's rookies.
