The Raiders waived Nelson (knee) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis
Nelson was originally waived with a failed phsyical designation. He is now stuck on the team's PUP-R until he can get his health back up to par. The 2018 fourth-round pick played in just two games last season, primarily as a special-teams contributor, before sustaining a knee injury.

The Raiders waived Nelson (knee) with a failed physical designation on Monday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move to waive Nelson opens up a spot for fellow cornerback Prince Amukamara on the 90-man roster. The 2018 fourth-round pick appeared in two games as a special-teams contributor with the Raiders last season before sustaining a knee injury. When healthy, Nelson will look to latch on in a depth capacity with another club.

Nelson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
