Keelan Doss Inactive Monday Night

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss is unsurprisingly inactive for Monday night's game versus the Broncos.

With plenty of preseason hype surrounding Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller, it's time for him to show his skills when the team opens up the regular season on Monday Night Football.
