Jon Feliciano may need to earn his starting job back

For the first time in his career, Jon Feliciano was a full-time starter after four years with the Raiders that he had eight starts over that stretch. The injury couldn’t come at a worse time as Feliciano was entering the final year of his contract and another good year could have resulted in a big free agent deal.
