The Raiders acclamation period is over.

They had their first padded practice on Monday,

so what or who stood out to me from that?

Plus, a few minor details in the Christian Wilkins situation.

Slow drip process is what I like to call it.

That plus more on Tuesday's edition of the Locked On Raiders podcast for July 29th, 2025.

monday pads will be on again today even though practice may be indoors not too sure about that as of yet
