Two Raiders drafted rookies make their first starts, a third makes his debut Week 4

Just four weeks into the 2024 seasons and the Raiders are turning to their draft class to give them a boost. Two of their rookies are making their first starts of the season, both along the offensive line.


Getting his first start at right tackle is DJ Glaze. The third rounder replaces injury starter Thayer Munford. Glaze came in on the third play last Sunday when Munford left with knee and ankle injuries and didn’t return. Munford inactive today.


Coming in to make his first start at left guard is Jackson Powers-Johnson. The second rounder made his debut last week after being inactive the first two weeks with an illness. The Raiders had wanted Powers-Johnson to be the starter to begin the season, but the Rimington Award Winner out of Oregon missed much of the offseason and training camp with an undisclosed injury.


Making his debut is rookie running back Dylan Laube. The sixth rounder was much talked about in camp only to end up inactive for the first three games of the season. Now, with so many injuries on the team, they were able to fit him on the active roster. He came in the game for the first time on special teams.
