Russell Resurfaces with Raiders

Apparently, two teams in the the AFC West believe that the division will be decided this year by the number of running backs that a given team has under contract.
At a time when the Broncos are hoarding tailbacks, the Raiders keep adding more to the roster as well.
The latest addition is Gary Russell, according to Jerry McDonald of InsideBayArea.com.
Actually, Russell is only the fifth tailback on the roster. It only seems like they have more than that, given the top-heavy depth chart featuring Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, and Justin Fargas. (Fargas!)
They also have four fullbacks, given the arrival of Lorenzo Neal.
Russell was recently cut by the Steelers and then claimed off waivers by the Bengals. Shortly thereafter, the Bengals released him, too.
John Herrera reportedly announced the move to reporters assembled at a team minicamp.
