The Raiders have already produced some memorable games in their shiny new home of Allegiant Stadium since it opened in 2020. Here are the top five:
“The first day of pads, real football starts. … That’s the most exciting part about training camp,” fullback Jakob Johnson said a day before the Raiders start hitting.
The former third-round pick enters his second season feeling bigger and stronger after an illness depleted his size and strength during a productive rookie season.
Arguments about whether or not the Raiders should commit to running back Josh Jacobs are valid and fair, but fans shouldn’t engage with him directly on social media.
The Raiders’ Davante Adams is not only one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but he has gone out of his way to try to help make his teammates better.
Running back Josh Jacobs, who hasn’t signed the franchise tag and isn’t under contract with the Raiders, was active Thursday on social media responding to fans and liking posts.
Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby would love to see Josh Jacobs on the practice field, but they also want to see him get the compensation he is seeking from the Raiders.
Raiders quarterback Chase Garbers spent most of last season on the practice squad before serving as Jarrett Stidham’s backup for the final two games.
First-round pick Tyree Wilson didn’t participate in on-field activities through the NFL draft process or during the Raiders’ offseason because of a foot injury.
Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs misplayed a fly ball during Saturday’s Battle For Vegas and left the game with a cut above his right eye just days before the start of training camp.

Reilly Smith was one of the six remaining Golden Knights from their inaugural season to play for the Stanley Cup champs this season. He was then traded to the Penguins.
Former Oakland A’s are starring for teams across Major League Baseball. The A’s have consistently allowed top players to depart when they are due for huge pay raises.
