NFL dream realized; taken away
Last Friday, Jamie Cumbie found out a second training camp with the Oakland Raiders had paid off in the form of a spot on their 53-man roster.
By the end of the weekend, that spot was gone.
Cumbie, a 2006 graduate of Morris Community High School, initially survived the Raiders’ last round of cuts following their fourth and final preseason game last Thursday. The good news was followed by heartbreak when the Raiders needed to find room for three players they signed the following day. Cumbie, who had battled a foot injury during the preseason, was waived/injured last Saturday, Sept. 1, and was waived from injured reserve on Wednesday. He reached an injury settlement from the team.
