The Las Vegas Raiders are exploring new running back options after releasing veteran Chris Collier. With new quarterbacks and questions at wide receiver, the team seeks to strengthen its running game. They have reportedly worked out former Pro Bowler Miles Sanders, who left without a contract, and are bringing in Kenny McIntosh, Dare Ogunbowale, and James Robinson for visits. The addition of another veteran could provide depth as the Raiders look to improve from last season's struggles. Ashton Jeanty is expected to take on a larger role in the offensive attack this year and is showing increased vocal leadership in training camp.
