Silver And Black Pride
Here is a look at the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class at how they fared in a 20-10 home win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 6 and what to expect in Week 7 at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ashton Jeanty:
The No. 6 overall draft pick snap count increased to 78 percent from played a season-low 54 percent of the snaps. He had 75 yards on 23 carries and averaged 3.3 yards per carry. It was the fourth time in six games he averaged less than four yards per carry.
Jack Bech:
For the second straight week, the second-round pick played a season-high snap percentage (75 percent in Week 6). Yet, he was targeted once and had no catches. He has five catches on eight targets this season. But it’s clear the Raiders are open to giving him opportunities.
Darien Porter:
The cornerback, taken in the third round, went back to be a non-factor on defense now that starter Eric Stokes returned from an injury. Porter didn’t play on defense against the Titans and played 10 special-teams snaps. He played all 66 defensive snaps at the Colts with Stokes out.
Caleb Rogers:
The offensive lineman, taken in the third round, was inactive for the fifth time in six games.
Charles Grant:
The offensive lineman, taken in the third round, was active for the second time because Kolton Miller is out for the next 4-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain. He didn’t play. Earlier, coach Pete Carroll said Grant may soon be ready to push Stone Forsythe for playing time if Miller is out.
Dont’e Thornton:
The wide receiver, taken in the fourth round, has dramatically seen his play time dwindle. He played just two offensive snaps in Week 6 and he wasn’t targeted. His previous low-snap count was 31. He has five catches on 16 targets and hasn’t caught a ball since Week 3. He has ability, but it’s clear the Raiders feel he’s not ready and Bech has taken snaps away. Thornton hasn’t played any on special teams this season.
Tonka Hemingway:
The fourth-round pick was inactive for the fourth time this season.
JJ Pegues:
The defensive tackle, taken in the sixth round, was inactive after being active for two straight games.
Cody Lindenberg:
The seventh-round pick played no snaps on defense, but played 78 percent of the snaps on special teams, which was a season-low.
Carter Runyan:
The undrafted free agent tight end played the past three games. He played two offensive snaps in Week 6 and 15 on special teams.
