Raiders' Denico Autry: Could start on defensive line

Autry is the leading candidate to replace Mario Edwards (hip) in the starting lineup on the Raiders' defensive line, Scott Bair of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Autry missed time early in the offseason due to a wrist injury, resulting in spotty play throughout the preseason thus far. He still has the talent to earn the starting spot, but he'll have to impress the coaches on Saturday in the Raiders' third exhibition contest.
