Hollins secured a spot Tuesday on the Raiders' initial 53-man roster, Levi Edwards of the team's official site reports.
The Raiders kept Hollins, Tyron Johnson and DJ Turner as reserve options behind starting wideouts Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow. Based on preseason usage, Hollins could open the season as the No. 3 receiver, though it isn't likely to be a high-volume role in terms of targets, and he might share snaps with Johnson. The Raiders open their season with a road game against the division-rival Chargers on Sept. 11.
