Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 53-man roster prediction after preseason Game No. 2

Offensive Line (9): Kolton Miller, Alex Leatherwood, Andre James, Richie Incognito, Denzelle Good, Brandon Parker, John Simpson, Nick Martin, Not-on-roster

The starting offensive line for the Raiders should be a good one this season, as the left tackle, Kolton Miller has rounded into a legitimate franchise guy, and Alex Leatherwood has looked strong as a rookie this preseason. Richie Incognito is going to get healthy for Week 1, and Andre James and Denzelle Good should round out the starting lineup.

Behind them are some players who can be trusted, including Brandon Parker, who played well in spots last season. John Simpson is someone I believe will be a starter for the Raiders down the road, and Nick Martin has more than enough starting experience at the NFL level, and will backup James at center.

The last player listed is a player I believe is not on the roster right now, as that backup right tackle job could still be up for grabs. Las Vegas has seen Jaryd Jones-Smith struggle this preseason and he does not look like an answer, so unless Patrick Omameh makes the roster, this ninth player is not currently with the team in my opinion.
