The roster cuts are made. The Raiders have 53 players. Certainly they’re not done making moves, but as of this moment, this is how the depth chart would figure to shake out.

Quarterback

Starter: Derek Carr

Backups: Marcus Mariota, Nathan Peterman

Running back

Offensive line

Starters: LT Kolton Miller, LG Richie Incognito, C Rodney Hudson, RG Gabe Jackson, RT Trent Brown

Backups: G Denzelle Good, C Andre James, G John Simpson, T Brandon Parker

Notes: Sam Young was pegged as the swing tackle throughout camp. He was among the cuts but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is re-signed by the team in short order.

Notes: McMillan and Morrow will each see some starts this season depending on the alignment of the defense. McMillan as a SAM linebacker and Morrow as a WILL. McMillan is a backup MIKE.
