Raiders Week 4 snap counts vs Chargers: Jakorian Bennett sees playing time slashed

Raiders rookie CB Jakorian Bennett sees playing time slashed

Getting thrust into a starting job as a rookie is rough. There is a shock involved in going from college level talent to the NFL. Over the first three games of the season, Jakorian Bennett seemed to get more and more exposed each week. Culminating in last week against the Steelers when he somehow let Kenny Pickett have his way with him.

Bennett missed just seven snaps all season coming into the Raiders’ week four matchup with the Chargers. He still got his fourth straight start, but this time, he was not a mainstay at the outside cornerback spot.

The fourth round rookie saw just 28 snaps in this one (40%). Even with Nate Hobbs not playing with an injury, and David Long Jr missing part of the game with an injury, Bennett still watched as three other cornerbacks saw more snaps than he did — Marcus Peters, Amik Robertson, and Long all played the majority of the snaps on defense.

We’ll see what happens going forward. After all, it’s not like Long did anything to suggest his is the answer at outside corner either.

For what it’s worth, Peters, Long, and Bennett each had pass breakups in the game.
