The Raiders have made a change at defensive line coach.Head coach Jon Gruden announced at a press conference Doug Martin Jersey , per multiple reporters, from the Senior Bowl that Brentson Buckner will take over that role for the 2019 season. Mike Trgovac held the job in Gruden’s first year back with the Raiders and the head coach said that he’ll remain on the staff in an advisory role.Buckner spent last season as the defensive line coach with the Buccaneers, but was swept out along with the rest of Dirk Koetter’s staff when Bruce Arians took over as head coach. Buckner had coached with Arians in Arizona, but the Bucs opted to hire Kacy Rodgers after he’d worked with new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles with the Jets.The Raiders are also expected to sign a new strength and conditioning coach in the coming days. They’ll also need a new quarterbacks coach with Brian Callahan headed to Cincinnati as the new Bengals offensive coordinator.

Rashan Gary, who lit the combine on fire with an impressive demonstration of athleticism has a shoulder injury that will likely require surgery. However, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the torn labrum will not likely require surgery until after the 2019 season. That would allow Gary to play the upcoming season with a harness or brace, before having offseason surgery as soon as the season is over. Shoulder injuries are obviously no joke for edge rushers, as Ziggy Ansah, formerly of the Detroit Lions, remains unsigned as a free agent following late season surgery on a torn labrum that limited Ansah to just 146 defensive snaps this past season. He was productive on those 146 snaps Rashaan Melvin Jersey , recording 4 sacks and 7 quarterback hits, but obviously any team drafting Gary faces the risk of having a Day 1 or Day 2 pick miss a significant portion of the season if the shoulder injury is aggravated or worsened to the point where surgery is required before the end of the 2019 campaign.In any case, Jon Gruden is no stranger to drafting defensive linemen out of Michigan who fall due to medical concerns, as was evidenced by his selection of Maurice Hurst during the 2018 draft. Hurst was considered a Day 1 talent by many, but due to a heart condition slipped to the fifth round. That proved fortuitous for Raiders fans, as Hurst proved to be a significant contributor during his rookie season, recording four sacks and a forced fumble in thirteen games, including ten starts. It remains to be seen whether new general manager Mike Mayock would be on board with selecting a player who fell due to medical concerns, but if the rumors that Gruden has complete control over personnel selections are true, then Mayock’s opinions are obviously less important. In any case, Gruden has shown that he is not afraid of drafting defensive line help that slips due to medical concerns, and with names like Rashan Gary and Montez Sweat now reportedly facing a fall on draft day due to medical matters, the team could once again go back to that well.
