We are still waiting on the debut of rookie tight end Michael Mayer as he works his way back from an injury. While it doesn’t appear serious, Mayer did not play in Week 1 of the preseason and has missed a lot of practice time over the last few months.
However, you can make a case that Mayer is the most important rookie for the Raiders going into the season. He is replacing Darren Waller and the Raiders need him to be productive right away as both a receiver and as a blocker.
