Denzelle Good

Denzelle Good is right behind Incognito on the depth chart, and the chances are that he will see the opportunity to fill the left guard position for the first two weeks. Before Incognito’s arrival, Good was likely to start the season himself. The safest option is to expect him suiting up to start the season and the week after.

The final three games of the 2018 season saw Denzelle Good starting for the Silver and Black. According to Pro Football Focus, Good allowed a total of nine quarterback hurries.

The three games of starting experience likely give him the leg up on the other potential fill-in options for Incognito. If Good bodes well as his replacement, it could benefit his stay with the Raiders long-term should Incognito’s contract end up truly being a one-year prove it deal.
