After forgettable stints with the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills earlier in 2020, corner Daryl Worley decided to return to familiar surroundings.
Worley confirmed on social media on Tuesday that he is back with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old Worley previously played with the franchise in 2018 and 2019, starting 24 games during that period.
Worley’s return doesn’t come as a surprise considering the Raiders experienced issues on the position for the better part of the season. This includes the injury of 2020’s first-round pick Damon Arnette, who suffered multiple concussions in past several weeks.
While he isn’t expected to be inserted in the starting lineup right away, Worley should play a prominent role in the next couple of weeks for the Raiders due to his versatility. He can play corner position, be used as a nickel, and even line up on safety if needed.
Daryl Worley hasn’t been productive in 2020 as in some previous years, managing only 14 tackles and one pass deflections in eight games. With Buffalo, he only played 20 snaps before being released.
Worley, who also played with Carolina Panthers early in his career, has 257 tackles, 35 pass deflections, five interceptions and 2.0 sacks as a pro.
