Former New England receiver Phillip Dorsett’s built-in chemistry with former Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and coach Josh McDaniels wasn’t enough to earn him a spot on the Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster.
The 30-year-old receiver was cut along with Keelan Cole by the Raiders on cutdown day Tuesday according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport who tweeted:
“The #Raiders have released WRs Keelan Cole and Phillip Dorsett, source said, and both veterans could be back on the practice squad.”
