Raiders map early 53-man roster before preseason clash with Cardinals
Ahead of the Raiders-Cardinals preseason opener, Silver and Black Pride lays out an initial 53-man projection (25 on offense, 25 on defense, 3 specialists) with position-by-position starters, backups, and likely cuts. The plan highlights QB questions around Aidan O’Connell and Fernando Mendoza backing Kirk Cousins, a clear RB duo in Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr., a five-to-six man WR group led by Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, and Malik Benson, and detailed depth charts across OL, DL, LB, CB, and S, plus specialists Matt Gay, AJ Cole III, and Tyler Duzansky, all subject to camp performance and preseason showings.”
