“Nonetheless going via the protocol,” McDaniels stated in West Virginia, the place the Raiders have practiced this week. “So clearly, they will decide the tempo that goes via.”

In Meyers’ absence, former Professional Bowl slot receiver Hunter Renfrow and rookie tight finish Michael Mayer may probably get further targets. Final week, Renfrow was not focused in a sport for the primary time in his five-year profession.

“I imply, Jakobi’s a extremely good soccer participant and, so, if he isn’t out there then all people has to step up and provides themselves nice alternatives to supply and that is a very good factor for them,” McDaniels stated. “And that is what the Nationwide Soccer League’s about.
