Mike Washington Jr. embracing ‘physical mindset’ in Klint Kubiak’s offense during Las Vegas Raiders training camp
Part of the reason the Las Vegas Raiders hired Klint Kubiak as head coach this offseason is because of his impressive rushing attack.

Kubiak accomplished that […]

Defensive coordinator Rob Leonard has plenty of work ahead of him in his initial season as play caller. And the Las Vegas Raiders’ 27-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Thursday in the Silver & Black’s preseason opener showcased the challenges that await Leonard. At the tail end of last month, I dove into one […]
Ashton Jeanty working to improve in passing game during Las Vegas Raiders’ training camp
What can get lost in Ashton Jeanty’s rookie season is that he was a productive pass-catcher out of the backfield, hauling in 55 catches for 346 yards and five touchdowns last year. All three of those figures were in the top 10 among running backs during the 2025 regular season, highlighted by his receiving touchdowns, […]

If we’re picking early winners from Las Vegas Raiders training camp, rookies Hezekiah Masses and Malik Benson have to be at the top of the list.

Silver Minings: Raiders sign DT Folorunso Fatukasi
The Las Vegas Raiders lost their first preseason game of the season on Thursday Night. One of the reasons for the loss was the struggles to stop the run.

Tre Tucker, Malik Benson as Raiders’ main return men is solid option
Klint Kubiak and Rob Leonard aren’t the only Las Vegas Raiders play callers meticulously pouring over training camp practices, accompanying film, and previous year’s game tape to make key decisions on starters and overall depth.

The Las Vegas Raiders lost their first preseason game and struggled in the secondary. They will be very young at the position, and there is competition for starting spots all over the field.
