Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Raiders to watch in Week 10

Nicholas Morrow

The Las Vegas Raiders got some big news on Thursday, as it was announced that linebacker Cory Littleton would be added to the COVID/reserve list. Littleton has not done much since joining the Silver and Black, and for at least this weekend, he will not get another chance to prove he was worth the big contract he got in free agency.

In his place, the Raiders will turn to a familiar face in Nicholas Morrow, who has started five games for the team this season, and has appeared in every game. Morrow was called up when Nick Kwiatkoski went down early this year, and on Sunday, he has a tall task in covering the Broncos solid tight ends.

Morrow is a guy who has earned his playing time with the franchise, and while Littleton was a big signing, the Raiders have still not tapped into his full potential. Maybe sitting out a game will help him in the long run, as the Raiders will need him as they try and navigate the second half of their season.
