The Raiders have signed RB Gary Russell.  Russell played well for the Raiders in the pre-season but he got caught in a numbers game at RB.  With Darren McFadden out of action Russell will likely serve as the #3 RB.  He has carried the ball 35 times for 98 yards (2.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs in his career.  He was used mostly around the goal line and in short yardage situations which caused his yards per carry average to be so low.  The Raiders also cut KR Justin Miller after just one week as he returned 6 kickoffs for 106 yards (17.7 avg).  The Raiders will likely give Russell a lot on kickoffs returns now as he returned 16 kickoffs for 371 yards (23.2 avg) for the Steelers last season.
