Tuesday the Raiders announced that starting left tackle Kolton Miller has passed his physical and has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Miller spent all of camp on the PUP list while he dealt with a shoulder injury. He returns with a week left of camp and nearly three weeks until the start of the season. Plenty of time to get up to speed.
In his absence, it has been veteran free agent signing Andrus Peat who has taken the first team reps at left tackle.
Peat was often beaten on the edge in the team’s first two preseason games, and it more suited to be a reserve utility guard/tackle than a starter. So, Miller’s return is a welcome sight with the season around corner.
Last week the team got Jackson-Powers Johnson back from PUP as well, but it looks like it will be veteran Cody Whitehair who will get the start at left guard next to Miller to begin the season.
They will have the next couple weeks to get on the same page with each other.
