NFL Rumors: Raiders list Zamir White as RB1 on depth chart

Who’s the player with the most to benefit from Josh Jacobs’ absence in Raiders’ camp? Zamir White.

Amid Jacobs’ tense holdout, White has officially been named as Las Vegas’ RB1, albeit on the team’s first unofficial depth chart for 2023.

Jacobs had the lion’s share of playing time in the Raiders’ running back room last season, but White, a 2022 fourth-round pick, did see some snaps as a rookie. If Jacobs keeps holding out of camp, or if the Raiders rescind Jacobs’ franchise tag altogether, White will be in line to take the starting job.

The Raiders also have depth pieces Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, Brittain Brown, and Sincere McCormick.

Las Vegas’ front office reportedly hasn’t given up on Jacobs yet and is open to restarting contract talks ahead of the 2023 season. Jacobs, who rushed for a league-leading 1,653 yards and 97.2 yards per game, hasn’t given any indication whether he wants to take a seat at the table again.

Until Jacobs and the Raiders reconcile, White is the next man up in camp right now — best believe he’ll make the most of this opportunity.
