Tommy to the Raiders

https://www.raiders.com/team/depth-chart

Tommy is currently listed as Other (4th) KR and PR but he definitely not 4th if you look at who is in front of him.

KR1/PR1 - Tre Turner who is also WR1. He's almost definitely not going to be returning kicks/punts if he's a starting WR, and especially not doing both.
KR2/3 - Sincere McCormick/Dylan Laube. These guys are currently sharing RB4 so one or both won't make the team.
PR2 - Ashton Jeanty. No way they're sending their first round draft pick out to field punts.
PR3 - Alex Bachman. WR2 in front of Tommy.

Based on the current depth chart Tommy is KR2 and PR2 if this were the regular season and could possibly start if they give him enough chances this weekend to push the other guys out of the way.

I wouldn't put too much stake in the depth chart that the teams website is putting out. I've been told for years from NFL beat writers that depth charts are put together by the teams PR department and not the coaches. They're usually exceptionally inaccurate.

It’s kind of like the coaches poll. They just find some staffer to do it for them. They don’t care.

The Raiders even include the word "unofficial" on their online chart! The speculation will be over soon with roster cut deadlines coming on Tuesday.

Tuned in awhile ago. 1st quarter just wrapping up. No Tommy sightings yet, as expected for the first half.

If Tommy makes the 53, it will be with the fewest snaps, even on ST, than I can recall for any Raider player in a preseason.

I’m wondering why they drafted him at this point.

The weird thing is he makes some plays when given the chance, and the overall roster sucks. Bachman and Laube offer nothing to a winning NFL team. Slow guys who try hard.
