Offensive Guard(4):  Gabe Jackson, Jonathan Cooper, Lester Cotton, Denzelle Good

The Raiders will keep four guards on the active team. With Richie Incognito suspended, the Raiders recently signed Jonathan Cooper. I believe Gabe Jackson will start at the right guard spot, and Jonathan Cooper will start at the left guard spot.

This will leave Lester Cotton and Denzelle Good as the primary backups. There is a lot of talent at this position group this season, and it will be interesting to see how it all shapes out over the next couple of weeks.

If Cooper stays healthy, I can see Incognito returning and taking over the left guard spot, with Jonathan Cooper staying as the primary backup. If that’s the case, I can see Cotton being demoted to the practice squad.

Reserve/Suspended:  Richie Incognito
