One of the Raiders’ recent draft picks was exposed to the team’s culture before ever putting on football pads. Now, he’s excited to contribute to the organization.
A draft pick’s claim that he missed out on going to the Raiders because of a coin toss has drawn far more attention than it ever needed — unless it’s true.
The No. 13 pick overall in this year’s draft, tight end Brock Bowers has an unreal work ethic that dates to his time at the University of Georgia.
The Raiders lost to the Rams 24-21 during the preseason home opener Saturday.
Derek Carr placed his right hand atop the back-neck area of Khalil Mack’s jersey throughout the national anthem before the Raiders’ 24-21 exhibition loss to the Los Angeles Rams. This was no accident, Carr said afterward.
As expected, Marshawn Lynch took a seat on the bench during the national anthem. How Lynch looked in his first exhibition action was more prudent, and the running back didn’t disappoint Saturday in a 24-21 loss to the Rams.
The Raiders’ defensive and offensive starters flashed ability Saturday in their most extensive action of the preseason. They also committed blunders, a good balance to build from in a 24-21 loss to the Rams.
Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch once again sat during the national anthem.
Derek Carr will be at quarterback for the Raiders on Saturday. Wide receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree will be running routes. And defensive end Khalil Mack and outside linebacker Bruce Irvin will be rushing the passer.
It doesn’t mean this is a guaranteed financial jackpot for the city, but the fact Las Vegas probably would only host a few games is a plus in this manner.
There was a feeling of relief in the air and a little bit of fun on the field as the Raiders closed out their Napa training camp on Thursday.
The first exhibition saw the Raiders rest several key starters, a who’s who that featured most everyone on offense along with defensive edge rushers Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin. The second exhibition will look different.
Raiders cornerback Sean Smith was arrested Thursday for a July incident in which he is accused of beating his sister’s boyfriend and stomping on his head in Old Town Pasadena, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
