Vinny has covered the Raiders extensively in the past, breaking news on their eventual move to Las Vegas and their thwarted return to Los Angeles. Before joining the Review-Journal, he covered the Rams for The Athletic and the Los Angeles Daily News.
The Raiders and Chiefs each have plenty of motivation heading into Sunday’s rivalry game at Allegiant Stadium. That could lead to some fireworks.
Raiders fans submitted questions about coach Antonio Pierce, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and new quarterback Desmond Ridder in this week’s mailbag.
Patrick Mahomes has put up some unimpressive statistics so far this season. The Raiders aren’t putting any stock in that before Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs.
The Raiders can’t afford to wait for Gardner Minshew to get his turnovers under control. That could mean Desmond Ridder playing sooner rather than later.
The Raiders appear set to add help from outside their building after quarterback Aidan O’Connell suffered a thumb injury Sunday.
The Raiders will be down one of their two quarterbacks for the foreseeable future, so the team is set to sign a player off the Cardinals’ practice squad.
Penalties, turnovers and a key injury led to another damaging defeat for the Raiders on Sunday. This one came to the Rams at SoFi Stadium.
The Raiders will be without two starters on offense and a few key special teams players when they take on the Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The Raiders shouldn’t focus too much on the Rams’ 1-4 record when preparing for their game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. Los Angeles remains a dangerous team.
Fans had several questions after a busy week for the Raiders, including who the team could look to trade next after moving Davante Adams to the Jets.
Davante Adams was not making the kind of impact with the Raiders that he believes he’s capable of. He thinks that can change with the Jets.
Tom Brady, despite becoming a Raiders minority partner Tuesday, will still be allowed to broadcast the team’s games for Fox, the NFL said Thursday.
Raiders owner Mark Davis said the team is not considering a full rebuild, including trading defensive end Maxx Crosby, after sending Davante Adams to the New York Jets.
Former NFL star quarterback Tom Brady is expected to have a prominent role in the Raiders’ football operations now that he is a minority owner of the franchise.
