Raiders' Cory James: Gets start at middle linebacker
James made a team-high six solo tackles during Sunday's win over the Titans.
Analysis:
James earned the start at middle linebacker over Ben Heeney, which turned out to be a beneficial move for the Raiders' defense as the rookie played 65 defensive snaps to Heeney's one. At this point it looks like James will once again get the start next week against the Ravens.
