ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Coach Dennis Allen has firsthand knowledge of what challenges Marcel Reece can give opposing defenses because he has the speed and hands of a receiver while playing fullback for the Oakland Raiders.

That’s why Allen is so happy to have Reece back under contract to start learning the team’s new offense.

Reece spent the first part of the offseason away from the Raiders as he chose not to sign a $540,000 exclusive rights tender the team gave him in March while hoping to get a long-term deal. He ended his holdout on Monday and is now trying to get up to speed after missing a voluntary minicamp and two weeks of organized team activities.
