Raiders Score Valuable Reps in Joint Practice With Texans

The Las Vegas Raiders used their joint practice with the Houston Texans to push both sides, with Fernando Mendoza taking significant first-team reps and delivering several throws to Brock Bowers, while rookie Mike Washington Jr. showed burst on runs. Bowers also hauled in a red-zone TD, though Mendoza faced an interception in the red zone. The Raiders’ defense generated pressure from Crosby, Paye and others, and Quay Walker had an interception, with coach Klint Kubiak calling the session mature and productive as they prep for the next preseason game.
