96 Carl Granderson DE

Granderson finished with two tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Saints.

The Wyoming product finished 2019 with just 11 tackles (eight solo) and one sack, so his Week 1 performance is certainly encouraging for his rest-of-season outlook. He'll look to take the next step forward this season and will get the Raiders up next in Week 2.

Granderson totaled two tackles (both solo) and one sack in the Saints' 31-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Granderson made his 2019 debut in Week 4 against Dallas, playing less than 10 percent of defensive snaps. His role grew in Week 5, and he accounted for two solo tackles and a sack. He should continue to be involved in the Saints' defensive scheme moving forward.

Granderson is back on the Saints' 53-man roster after his roster exemption was lifted Monday, Rod Walker of Nola.com reports.

As part of the exemption, the Saints had a two-week window to decide whether to keep Granderson on the roster. The 22-year-old was able to attend meetings and participate in practice during that period. Granderson will take the roster spot that was left vacant after the team placed linebacker Alex Anzalone (undisclosed) on injured reserve.
