Tank Carradine, Nick Nelson among Raiders inactives vs Rams

Our first official inactive list is out and it has some surprise names on it. Mots notably, Tank Carradine who was supposed to be the starter replacing Khalil Mack. Either the Raiders have been playing “Phych!” or perhaps he is banged up. His inactive status means Frostee Rucker gets the start at the defensive end spot.

Also inactive is rookie fourth round pick cornerback Nick Nelson who was to back up Leon Hall at slot cornerback and newly acquired wide receiver Brandon LaFell which opens up things for Keon Hatcher to make an impact.
