Raiders 1st-rounder Conley to debut Week 2 vs. Jets

Oakland Raiders rookie cornerback Gareon Conley is off the injury report and will be in the lineup for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the New York Jets.

The 24th overall pick will make his pro debut after missing the season opener with a shin injury - one he insisted was not shin splints.

After his stock rose quickly ahead of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Ohio State product was then accused of rape, causing him to slip to the Raiders near the end of the first round.

Conley was cleared of the allegation in late July and was not subject to league discipline.

He could have an instant impact in the Raiders' secondary, a unit that allowed 255 yards through the air against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. For his first career game, Conley may slot into the nickel role.
