Mike Washington Jr. Sees Expanded Role in Raiders Offense

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. played a season-high 23 snaps in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, rushing for 43 yards on nine carries with two runs of 10-plus yards. The fourth-round draft pick's increased involvement is viewed as a key step toward jump-starting the Raiders' stagnant running game as the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Rams.
