Raiders OTAs: Quarterbacks put in work in front of GOAT
Key Points:
- Tom Brady, part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, attended Thursday’s OTA session and closely observed the quarterbacks, praising their performance alongside the coaching staff.
- Kirk Cousins remains the Raiders’ No. 1 quarterback, followed by Aidan O’Connell and Fernando Mendoza, with all three showing promising moments during practice.
- Offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko described Brady as “an unbelievable resource,” noting his frequent presence this offseason, supported by tight end Brock Bowers’ comments.
- Several players, including rookie cornerback Jermod McCoy (due to a knee issue), cornerback Taron Johnson (contract concerns), linebacker Nakobe Dean (family reasons), and backup tight end Ian Thomas, were absent from the voluntary OTA session.
- The starting offensive line remained unchanged, with competition expected at most positions except left tackle and center; versatile rookie Trey Zuhn is practicing across multiple offensive line spots.
