Raiders Play Familiar Faces Sunday Against the Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders playing familiar faces on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

This Sunday will be the first time since the 2018 NFL regular season the Las Vegas Raiders will be playing against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

There are many former Raiders that are on the Dolphins' roster who will go head-to-head against their former team.

It starts with Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Ronaldo Hill. Hill played for the Raiders as a defensive back in 2005, competing in 16 games on the Silver and Black defense, making 13 starts, totaling 89 tackles with 75 of them being solos, had five passes defended and one interception.

Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith also spent some time with the Raiders, serving as tight ends coach from 2018 to 2020. He and former Raiders tight end Darren Waller worked very closely together. Waller caught 203 passes for 2,416 yards, an 11.9-yard average, and 12 touchdowns under Smith.

Dolphins' assistant offensive line coach Lemuel Jeanpierre was an assistant offensive line coach for the Raiders from 2018 to 2019.

The Raiders will also go head-to-head with Dolphins offensive lineman Lester Cotton, who signed with the Silver and Black as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He went on to play 15 games over three seasons on the Raiders' offensive line.

Lastly, Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold also signed with the Raiders in 2019 as an undrafted free agent. Inglold played three seasons with the Silver and Black, appeared in 41 games, made 11 starts and finished with 239 yards rushing and 41 receptions with three touchdowns.

With a victory on Sunday, the Raiders improved their record to 58-51 all-time against the AFC East. Another victory would get the Raiders above .500 with a 6-5 record. This would be the 38th time in franchise history and first since the 2021 NFL regular season, the Raiders have been .500 or better through the first 11 games of the season.

The Silver and Black will head out on the road to South Beach to take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 19, at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST.
