Oakland announced that they have placed Sebastian Janikowski on injured reserve and signed Giorgio Tavecchio to the active roster. Week 1 gives us a matchup between quarterbacks coming off broken legs, and two AFC North battles right out of the gate. Kevin Patra delivers everything you need to know ahead of Sunday.
The Oakland Raiders and kicker Sebastian Janikowski sorted out their murky situation. Sebastian Janikowski has been the one constant in Oakland since It sounds like his long tenure in Oakland could be facing a serious threat, though, seemingly out of nowhere, due to injury.
Marc Sessler scoured all 32 rosters searching for one home-grown veteran to represent each franchise. Who else makes the cut? Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski plans to hang around for a while. At 39, the former first-round pick has big plans for the Autumn of his career, including a move to Las Vegas.
