The Oakland Raiders may find themselves a starting running back in the coming days.
Free agent Isaiah Crowell is set to visit with the Raiders on Thursday, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
Former #Jets RB and now free agent Isaiah Crowell is set to visit the #Raiders on Thursday, source said. Jon Gruden, in particular, is hoping to add him to the RB room.

Crowell was released by the Jets after they signed Le’Veon Bell. The 26-year-old running back can be a factor, as evidenced by his 219-yard game against the Broncos last season.
Crowell has averaged 4.3 yards per carry in his NFL career. He spent his first four seasons with the Browns and last season with the Jets. The Raiders currently have Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington on their depth chart as Doug Martin and Marshawn Lynch are free agents.
