Oakland Raiders Release Elijah Hood

Posted Sep 3, 2017
Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie selected nine players in the 2017 NFL Draft, and eight made the team’s final roster, with the exception being running back Elijah Hood. And while the former North Carolina Tar Heel didn’t end up as one of the 53, he put together a quality training camp, and played decently well in his limited run in the preseason. (Oakland Raiders)
