Darien Porter Bounces Back Into Key Role for Las Vegas Raiders Defense

Las Vegas Raiders third-round pick Darien Porter bounced back in a major way during a 45-17 loss to the New England Patriots, playing 50 defensive snaps after logging just three in Week 4. Porter took over the primary outside cornerback role from rookie Zeke Masses, who had previously taken Porter's job earlier in the season. Porter now has a significant opportunity to secure the majority of the defensive snaps against the high-powered Buffalo Bills' offense in Week 6.
