Raiders release veteran CB Marcus Peters after 12 games
The Las Vegas Raiders are parting ways with veteran defensive back Marcus Peters after 12 games, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

After the game, Pierce said it was a "coach's decision" as to why Peters, who played just 20 snaps, did not return, but he did not elaborate.

Monday's decision to part ways with Peters speaks volumes though.

The three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro has struggled this season, in particular with run defense. Peters will be on the lookout to potentially join a fifth career club, having previously played with the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens.

In 12 starts this season for the Raiders, Peters has 43 tackles, five pass breakups and one interception, which he returned for a 75-yard touchdown against the Detroit Lions.
