No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza completed a brief first drive before hitting Jack Bech for a 6-yard TD on his second possession; he went 4-for-5 for 47 yards on that drive as the Cardinals led the Raiders 21-14 at halftime.
Day 3 of Raiders training camp in 95-degree heat produced several standouts: Kirk Cousins delivered on-target passes to Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker, with a tight throw to Jack Bech in the back of the end zone. Bowers also beat Zeke Masses for a TD on a corner route, while Bech opened with a solid block and later scored in red zone drills. Tonka Hemingway anchored the first-team defensive-tackle rotation, batting down a pass. Running back Mike Washington flashed as a runner and receiver, including a wheel-route catch for about 10 yards, with Dylan Laube following on a similar play.
Las Vegas’ 2026 draft produced clear uplifts and roster battles: Jack Bech should land a sizable target share at wide receiver, while the linebacking duo of Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Lindenberg are set to compete for a starting role; JJ Pegues is positioned as the top nose tackle. The Raiders also add a backfield boost with Mike Washington Jr. to pair with Ashton Jeanty. On the downside, Isaiah Pola-Mao could lose his starting safety spot, Darien Porter must fend off competition at corner, Decamrion Richardson’s roster security tightens after more CBs were drafted, and Jordan Meredith faces an uphill battle along the interior line. The 2023 draft class is mostly out of the picture with only three of nine remaining. Overall, Bech, the Bergs, Pegues, and the new run game stand out, while several veterans and the 2023 class face challenges.
The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing for an upcoming joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers, with notable performances from rookie Jack Bech and improvements in both offensive and defensive units during training camp, highlighting key players and strategic developments.
