Raiders' Nick Nelson: Clears waivers, reverts to PUP-R
Rotowire
Nelson (knee) has cleared waivers and landed on the Raiders' Physically Unable to Perform-Reserve list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Nelson was originally waived with a failed physical designation. He is now stuck on the team's PUP-R until he can get healthy. The 2018 fourth-round pick played in just two games last season, primarily as a special-teams contributor, before sustaining a knee injury.

The Raiders waived Nelson (knee) with a failed physical designation on Monday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The move to waive Nelson opens up a spot for fellow cornerback Prince Amukamara on the 90-man roster. The 2018 fourth-round pick appeared in two games as a special-teams contributor with the Raiders last season before sustaining a knee injury. When healthy, Nelson will look to latch on in a depth capacity with another club.

Raiders' Nick Nelson: Questionable for Week 3
Rotowire
The Raiders have listed Nelson (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
Nelson saw his practice time reduced as the week progressed, as he must have done something to tweak his hamstring. He was still able to work in limited fashion, so he is looking like a true game-time decision. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would likely see an increase in snaps providing depth at cornerback should Nelson ultimately be unable to suit up.
