Raiders Draft CB Jermod McCoy Despite Knee Injury Concerns

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy with the 101st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, ending his significant slide from a projected first-round talent. McCoy's draft stock fell due to medical concerns regarding a knee injury involving a bone plug, which caused him to miss the 2025 season with a torn ACL. While McCoy reports his knee feels good, he is awaiting further evaluation from team doctors to determine if additional surgery is required. The Raiders view him as a high-upside addition to their secondary.
