Depth is still an issue for the Raiders. With Brandon Facyson on injured reserve and DeCamerion Richardson not expected to play again this week, the Raiders have once again elevated Sam Webb from the practice squad.
This makes all three games this season that Webb has been activated. In the first two games, he saw just one combined snap on defense and 19 snaps on special teams.
He is activated primarily in case there is an injury to one of the starters. And thus far, the trio of Nate Hobbs, Jack Jones, and Jakorian Bennett have not missed any snaps.
The only other cornerback on the roster is Darnay Holmes, and he has seen even few snaps than Webb. He has not played a snap on defense with just 11 on special teams.
This is Webb’s third season with the Raiders. he originally signed with them as an undrafted free agent out of Missouri Western State. He appeared in all 17 games as a rookie in 2022, making three starts. He has appeared in just three games since then.
