‘He’s a worker’: New Raider emerging as key defensive leader

The Raiders have agreed to contract terms with free-agent nose tackle Marquan McCall, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed Tuesday.

The deal is expected to become official this week.

McCall, 24, played the 2022 season with the Panthers after joining Carolina as an undrafted free agent from Kentucky. As a rookie, the 6-foot-3-inch, 350-pounder had 15 tackles, including two for loss.

The Panthers waived McCall at the end of training camp in August, and the Patriots picked him up. New England released him after he reportedly failed a physical because of a knee injury.
