Josh Mauro listed as a starting defensive end

The Raiders signed Josh Mauro this off season, but most did not expect him to be starting for Oakland. Mauro is listed ahead of both Benson Mayowa and Maxx Crosby, who impressed everyone so far at training camp.

Mauro has been in the league since 2014, and has only recorded three sacks in his NFL career. Mayowa, who has been in the league since 2013, has recorded 13 sacks in his career, including four last season.

Mauro must be impressing the coaching staff in Napa, as he is listed as starting over two players that most would have placed in front of him, even though he has been getting first team reps.
