[…]

As the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 NFL training camp rolls on, there are good reports and bad coming out of Antonio Pierce’s first preseason as head coach.

The Las Vegas Raiders are going through a transition period under center. Journeyman Gardner Minshew and unproven youngster Aidan O’Connell are their two top options, so they don’t anticipate being a great offense.
