Impact Munford missed Wednesday's practice due to a hand injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. The 24-year-old is slated to start at right tackle for the Raiders this season.

Alexander Mattison - In line for No. 2 RB role As the coming season approaches, Mattison profiles as Zamir White's top backup at the running back position, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Impact Following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs, White heads into the coming season as the team's presumed lead back, while Mattison is line to work behind him in a complementary role that would set the former Minnesota Viking up to be next up for added carries should White suffer an injury. Meanwhile, as the Raiders' second preseason game approaches, Reed indicates that Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube are still competing to see who secures Las Vegas' primary third-down RB duties.

Gardner Minshew II - Scheduled to start this weekend Minshew is in line start Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, with Raiders coach Antonio Pierce hoping to then name his Week 1 starter after the game, Rachel Gossen of Raiders...
Impact Pierce presumably won't name the Week 1 starter right after Saturday's game, but it sounds like it could happen in the following days. Aidan O'Connell started the preseason opener and completed seven of nine passes for 76 yards on his lone drive, with Minshew then finishing out the first half and completing six of 12 passes for 117 yards and a TD. It was an impressive showing for the Las Vegas offense, featuring two TDs and two FGs through the first four possessions.

Jackson Powers-Johnson - Taken off PUP list The Raiders removed Powers-Johnson (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Wednesday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact Powers-Johnson had been dealing with an undisclosed injury that landed him on the PUP list, but he is now set to return to practice. Now healthy, the rookie second-round pick could potentially serve as a starter on the offensive line once the regular season begins.

Thayer Munford Jr. - Exits practice early Munford left Tuesday's practice early due to an apparent right hand injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Munford returned to the field with his right finger taped after practice. This comes after he already suffered a left hand injury earlier in camp. While the injury does not sound serious for the team's starting right tackle, it is something to monitor going forward.

Keelan Doss - Placed on injured reserve The Raiders placed Doss (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact It's unclear what is ailing Doss, but it caused him to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings. The 28-year-old wide receiver will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Las Vegas.

Nathan Peterman - Returns to Raiders The Raiders signed Peterman to the 90-man training camp roster Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Impact Peterman was let go by the Saints on Aug. 2, and it didn't take long for the journeyman quarterback to catch onto another team. If Peterman wishes to secure a spot on Las Vegas' 53-man roster, he'll have to beat out Carter Bradley and Anthony Brown for the No. 3 emergency quarterback job behind Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.

Davante Adams - Back with teammates Adams rejoined his teammates Sunday after the recent birth of his son, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Adams missed the last five practices before he was absent from Saturday's preseason loss at Minnesota, according to coach Antonio Pierce. It's unclear if Adams will make an appearance during one of the Raiders' last two exhibitions, but the quarterback throwing him passes Week 1 and beyond seemingly will be known after Saturday's contest against the Cowboys. Pierce is expected to make a call between veteran Gardner Minshew and second-year pro Aidan O'Connell this weekend, but even with five different QBs targeting Adams the past two seasons, he's surpassed 1,100 yards on both occasions while recording 22 touchdowns in 34 regular-season games.

Pierce hopes to name Raiders starting quarterback after preseason game against the Cowboys
The Raiders’ quarterback battle Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew has been even4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Aidan O'Connell - Las Vegas nearing QB1 decision Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday that he plans to name a starting quarterback between O'Connell and Gardner Minshew after Saturday's preseason game versus Dallas, Paul Guti...
Impact Pierce also said that O'Connell and Minshew are both slated to play at least one quarter during this exhibition with the Cowboys, which is in line with the playing time that they got during Saturday's 24-23 loss to Minnesota. O'Connell did ultimately start versus the Vikings, but he's been splitting first-team practice reps throughout training camp and appears to be on even footing with Minshew following this preseason opener. O'Connell was solid during his 11 regular-season appearances as a rookie last year, and he completed seven of nine passing attempts for 76 yards during his lone offensive series against Minnesota. He'll also have a chance to separate himself during a week of practices before getting to Saturday's game against Dallas.

Gardner Minshew II - Starting battle nearing conclusion Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday that he expects to name a starting quarterback between Minshew and Aidan O'Connell following Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, Paul...
Impact Pierce said that Minshew and O'Connell will once again play at least one quarter during the upcoming preseason game with Dallas. The two signal-callers have been splitting first-team practice reps throughtout training camp, and, while O'Connell ultimately got the start during last Saturday's 24-23 loss to Minnesota, both quarterbacks saw relatively equal playing time and neither appeared to separate themselves with their performances during the preseason opener. With this competition seemingly in a dead heat up to this point, it's likely that how Minshew and O'Connell perform against the Cowboys and during upcoming practices could weigh rather significantly in this final decision.

Jackson Powers-Johnson - Almost ready to return Powers-Johnson (undisclosed) might be ready to return from the active/PUP list next week, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Impact The offensive guard was placed on the active/PUP list July 23. A second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Powers-Johnson looks primed for a starting role once he returns.

Kolton Miller - Might return next week Miller (shoulder) might be ready to return from the active/PUP list after the Raiders' preseason game next Saturday against the Cowboys, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Impact The left tackle suffered a shoulder injury near the end of last season and began training camp on the active/PUP list. The 2018 first-round pick has started 90 games for the Raiders in his career. Miller is again listed as Las Vegas' starting left tackle going into 2024.

Tre Tucker - Big gains Saturday Tucker caught two of four targets for 73 yards in Saturday's 24-23 preseason loss to the Vikings. He also added 23 yards on one punt return.
Impact Davante Adams got the night off, leaving Jakobi Meyers and Tucker as the Raiders' starting wideouts, and the latter wound up leading the team in receiving yards thanks to gains of 29 and 44 yards on successive second-quarter touchdown drives with Gardner Minshew under center. Tucker has drawn plenty of praise from the coaching staff in camp, and the 2023 third-round pick could be headed for a breakout campaign if he can earn enough volume in a passing game that also has to find targets for tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Zamir White - Finds end zone in preseason loss White carried the ball six times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-23 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Impact The third-year back got the start and capped a drive in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run that gave the Raiders a 17-7 lead, before the game tilted the Vikings' way after halftime. White has little competition for the starting job in the Las Vegas backfield, but he heads into 2024 as a relatively unproven option who managed just one touchdown on 136 touches in his first two NFL campaigns while working as Josh Jacobs' backup.

Gardner Minshew II - Leads three scoring drives Saturday Minshew completed six of 12 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-23 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Impact While he wasn't exactly efficient, Minshew put points on the board quickly for the Raiders after taking the reins from Aidan O'Connell to begin the second quarter. Minshew tossed a 20-yard strike to DJ Turner for the game's first touchdown, then led two more scoring drives before halftime, including one capped by a two-yard TD plunge from Zamir White. The battle between O'Connell and Minshew for the Week 1 starting job would appear to be a dead heat heading into Las Vegas' next preseason contest against Dallas next Saturday.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Aidan O'Connell - Sharp in preseason loss O'Connell completed seven of nine passes for 76 yards in Saturday's 24-23 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Impact The second-year QB was expected to see about a quarter of action in the Raiders' preseason opener, but O'Connell wound up being under center for only a single possession as he led Las Vegas on a nearly eight-minute drive that ended in a first-quarter field goal. Gardner Minshew then took over to begin the second quarter and engineered three quick scoring drives before halftime, including two touchdowns. While O'Connell getting the start might suggest he's ahead in the battle to be the Week 1 starter, Minshew had a lot more success putting points on the board. The competition will likely continue into next Saturday's clash with the Cowboys.
