ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders kept four undrafted free agents on their 53-man roster, with running back Jalen Richard, defensive lineman Darius Latham, receiver Johnny Holton and cornerback Antonio Hamilton all surviving cuts at the roster deadline.The Raiders traded safety Dewey McDonald to Seattle for a conditional draft pick, moved fullback Marcel Reece to the suspended list for the first three games and cut 20 other players Saturday.The most noteworthy players to get cut were cornerback Neiko Thorpe, who had been given a second-round restricted free agent tender in the spring, and linebacker Neiron Ball, a fifth-round pick last year who was cut with an injured designation. Linebacker James Cowser was also waived/injured.Richard, who played college ball at Southern Mississippi, impressed coaches almost immediately and joined rookie DeAndre Washington as the primary backups to Latavius Murray. Richard missed the first two exhibition games with an injury but showed some burst in the final two games as a runner, receiver and returner.Latham, out of Indiana, was one of Oaklands most consistent defensive players in the preseason and provides depth on the line with starter Mario Edwards Jr. out with an injury. Edwards is expected to miss several more weeks and could be placed on injured reserve to start the season.Holton, out of Cincinnati, was competing with K.J. Brent for the fifth wide receiver spot on the roster. Both players had good moments in the exhibition season, but Holton ended up winning out that race.Hamilton, out of South Carolina State, was a bit of a surprise to make the team as one of six cornerbacks on the roster.The other players released by Oakland were running back George Atkinson III; offensive linemen Mitch Bell, Denver Kirkland, Oni Omoile; defensive linemen Drew Iddings, Branden Jackson, Derrick Lott and Greg Townsend Jr.; linebackers John Lotulelei, Korey Toomer and Kyrie Wilson; receivers Marvin Hall and Jaydon Mickens; tight ends Jake McGee and Ryan OMalley; and cornerback Kenneth Durden.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 720 Scontate . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.The WICB has replaced batsman Darren Bravo in the West Indies squad for the ODI tri-series in Zimbabwe with Jason Mohammed. The announcement came a day after Bravo reacted on Twitter to WICB chairman Dave Camerons interview, where he had said Bravo was offered a grade C contract due to his slipping batting average.It is explicit that if your averages are not above a certain level it tells you what contracts you get. It is very, very explicit, Cameron had told SportsMax TV, a Caribbean television network. His averages in the last two years have been declining, so what do you do? Reward poor performance or do you encourage him to get better?Bravo responded with a tweet saying he had never been offered a Grade-A contract. You hav been failing 4 d last 4yrs. Y dont u resign and FYI Ive neva been given an A contract. Big idiot @davec51, he tweeted. A WICB release said Bravo had been replaced due to inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour, which is contrary to his contractual obligations to the WICB. A clause in his match/tour contract, the release said, clearly states not to make any statement in or to any form of media (which shall include, without limitation, print media, television, radio, internet or any social networking media), or any other public statement, which would bring yourself, WICB or any official or authorised representative of WICB or the game of cricket into disrepute, and your agreeement to use all such media in a responsible manner.ddddddddddddBravo was West Indies second-highest run getter in the recently concluded Test series against Pakistan in the UAE. Before that, he had a poor Test series against India at home, scoring only 139 runs in seven innings. Since November 2014, Bravo scored 1089 runs in 17 Tests for West Indies, a tally that is second to Kraigg Brathwaites 1258 runs in 20 matches.Mohammed had captained West Indies A in their limited-overs series in Sri Lanka last month, scoring a fifty and a hundred in his sides 3-0 clean sweep. A middle-order batsman, he has played two ODIs for West Indies, the last of which came a year ago, also in Sri Lanka.The WICB release also said offspinner Sunil Narine would be returning home due to personal reasons, and he will be replaced by legspinner Devendra Bishoo.West Indies had initially named their squad for the series - which also includes Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka - on October 13. On November 4, they had announced an updated squad, with wicketkeeper-batsman Shane Dowrich and fast bowler Miguel Cummins brought into the 15, replacing experienced batsman Marlon Samuels and teenage fast bowler Alzarri Joseph. West Indies play their first game of the series on November 16, against Sri Lanka, in Harare. ' ' '
