Richie Incognito remains a Raider, but the veteran guard has not played since September 2020. It does not look like the would-be Las Vegas starter will suit up at all this season.
Rich Bisaccia said Friday it is unlikely the 38-year-old blocker returns from injury before season’s end, via The Athletic’s Tashan Reed (on Twitter). Incognito has been on the Raiders’ IR list since late September, this time with a calf injury.
A foot injury led to Incognito missing 14 games last season. He underwent surgery and ended up being released amid the Raiders’ March overhaul of their veteran-laden offensive line. However, the team brought back the controversial O-lineman on a lower-cost deal. Incognito was expected to return as a starter this season, but the ensuing calf issue scuttled those plans.
Re-signed to a $2.1MM deal, Incognito is not signed beyond 2021. Given his recent run of injuries, the prospect of the former Pro Bowler suiting up for another NFL game is in doubt. A Pro Bowler with the Dolphins and Bills during the 2010s, Incognito caught on with the Raiders in 2019 — after missing a second full season in 2018 — and played well. He has started all 164 regular-season games he’s played as a pro.
The Raiders lost both Incognito and his 2020 replacement, Denzelle Good, to injuries. Good suffered a torn ACL in Las Vegas’ opener. Second-year man John Simpson and first-round rookie Alex Leatherwood, converted quickly from right tackle, have been the team’s primary guard starters this season.
Go beat up your car again Richie. What an idiot!!
Richie has been able to keep himself
INCOGNITO since 9/2020 !!
I hope he is able to focus on rehabbing his baby cow.
How he taught that calf to play football, we’ll never know !
Nobody else on the team is playing this year either so it’s fine.
I would have liked to see him get a chance to play before the fans in Buffalo again. I know they appreciated the good work he did when he was a member of the Bills.
Does he remember playing in Buffalo? That melon is shot.
Nothing to see here. Old players get hurt (and stay hurt) more than younger players.
This clown has played a full season in years. Just like all the basket cases employed by the NFL one ponders why this is news? Because this is today’s NFL thats why! The Neverending Felony League churns out murderers, DV, drug addicts and mental defects. They fight, punch and swing at each other like dirt bags and viewers are asked to enjoy its shining example?
