Offensive Line (9): Kolton Miller, Rodney Hudson, Trent Brown, Johnathan Cooper, Jordan Devey, Denver Kirkland, David Sharpe, Brandon Parker, Lester Cotton Sr.

With Gabe Jackson and Richie Incognito out for now, the Raiders will have to reach into their depth chart to find guys to fill their spots until they can both return. Jackson is slated to miss a ton of time due to the injury he suffered in a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams, and Incognito is serving a two-game suspension to start his Raiders career.

Kolton Miller, Rodney Hudson, and Trent Brown are starters for the team regardless, but who is filling in for Jackson and Incognito for the time being? The Raiders picked up Johnathan Cooper to play the LG position, and Jordan Devey will move over to the RG position.

Denver Kirkland will back up the RG positon, and could even see time starting there if Jordan Devey struggles. David Sharpe has been impressive and will back up Trent Brown at the RT spot, and Lester Cotton will make the lineup for now to back up the LG spot. Once Jackson and Incognito return, this will all change.

I have Brandon Parker here for now because he is still young and will be kept as the swing tackle, but if he continues to perform poorly, he will not last long.
