silverandblackpride.com • • general
Key Points:
- Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby were held out of practice on the Raiders' ninth day of training camp due to an incident on Friday, missing team sessions and drills.
- Fernando Mendoza received first-team reps in their absence and had his best day of camp, throwing three touchdowns and excelling in the red zone and two-minute drill.
- Mendoza's strong performance has increased competition for the starting quarterback position, potentially challenging Cousins for Week 1.
- Other notable camp performances included Quay Walker's strong run defense but coverage lapse, Malik Benson's involvement in the two-minute drill, and promising offensive play from Mike Washington and Ashton Jeanty.
- The offensive line showed improvement in the run game, with a competitive battle between DJ Glaze and Trey Zuhn for a roster spot, while injuries and position battles continued to shape the team's depth chart.
