Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell was even better than his statistics would suggest in their preseason opener Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Raiders offensive tackle Brandon Parker missed the 2022 season with torn triceps in his right arm. But he’s back as one of the team’s longest-tenured players.
The Raiders’ 6-11 record reeks of squandered star power and unfulfilled potential, leaving Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler with plenty to prove.
Raiders running back Josh Jacobs missed the week of preparation for the Kansas City Chiefs to be with his ailing father, who underwent emergency heart surgery Wednesday.
“He won’t always light things on fire,” former Missouri quarterback Drew Lock said about new UNLV coach Barry Odom, “but he knows how to motivate players.”
The Raiders squandered a 16-3 fourth-quarter lead, victimized by embattled Rams QB Baker Mayfield, whom they acquired via waivers this week.
Davante Adams on Sunday dazzled once again, catching seven passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns — the ninth and 10th of this, his first season with the Silver and Black.
Raiders star Davante Adams said after the team fell to 2-7 that “guys have got to play for one another. … Don’t got enough guys that are fully bought into that right now.”
If they haven’t learned how to play four quarters by November, there’s no reason to think the Raiders will figure it out in the second half of the season.
Here’s how the Raiders performed in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field that dropped them to 2-6 this season.
Josh Jacobs powered the Raiders to a victory Sunday and eclipsed his mentor’s franchise record for most rushing yards in a player’s first 50 games.
To secure his first win since 2010, Josh McDaniels and the Raiders must beat the Denver Broncos, for whom he was the coach in 2009 and 2010, on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Derek Carr’s performance Sunday during a 24-19 loss to the rival Chargers certainly wasn’t satisfactory, but it isn’t worth the panic that it seems to have created.
Bishop Gorman, ranked No. 6 by MaxPreps, led by 14 points in the second half, but eventually wore down against second-ranked and defending national champion Mater Dei.
