Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 53-man roster prediction after preseason Game No. 1

Offensive Line (8)

  •  T: Kolton Miller, Alex Leatherwood, Brandon Parker
  • G: Denzelle Good, Richie Incognito, John Simpson
  • C: Andre James, Nick Martin

Alex Leatherwood and Andre James got a good amount of playing time against Seattle and they really didn’t do too bad. For the most part, they gave Peterman enough time to make the throws he needed to.

If both players can clean up some of their miscues and gain some more experience at the professional level, then they work out for Vegas.

Having Richie Incognito back will provide a major boost for the offensive line, both through physical play and mentality. He’ll get gritty upfront and create holes for the Las Vegas’ backs, and he’ll be a source of leadership for the young, developing offensive line group.

Kolton Miller will still be the team’s franchise left tackle this season, and he should be able to continue the upward trend he’s been on since his 2019 season. Guys like Nick Martin, John Simpson, and Brandon Parker will all be depth guys in case any starters suffer a serious injury, something we saw way too much of last season.
