Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders just took a major hit as backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell is out 6–8 weeks with a fractured wrist, leaving Pete Carroll scrambling for answers behind Geno Smith. Rookie Cam Miller has shown flashes, but is he really ready to step into the QB2 role, and the squad discusses the Raiders trading for Kenny Pickett, Jakobi Meyers asking for a trade, and signing WR Amari Cooper to a one-year deal. We’ll also break down the biggest preseason standouts and roster locks, from JJ Pegues and Tommy Eichenberg to Tyree Wilson’s defensive surge. Finally, we dive into the biggest strengths and concerns heading into the regular season, and share what RaiderNation is saying online about the state of the Silver & Black.
