The Raiders designated their second player for return from the injured reserve list Tuesday in cornerback Antonio Hamilton, effectively ending kicker Sebastian Janikowski’s 2017 campaign before it even began, according to ESPN’s Paul Guiterrez — and potentially his career with the team.

Janikowski is Oakland’s all-time leading scorer with 1,799 points and has played in a franchise record 268 games in his 18-year career. Late Raiders owner Al Davis selected the kicker No. 17 overall in the 2000 NFL draft meaning he has enjoyed a love affair with Raiders fans that has endured almost two decades.

Oakland has been utilizing Giorgio Tavecchio at the kicker position to good effect in 2017, as he has hit 80 percent of his attempts while demonstrating a booming leg of his own.

SeaBass has been struggling with a back injury that landed him on injured reserve with a designation to reserve tag, but with the Raiders having an opportunity to bolster their secondary for a playoff run and Tavcchio’s effectiveness, there seemed to be little reason to rush Janikowski back.
