Brady Drops In on Raiders OTAs, Watches QBs Shine

Tom Brady attended the Las Vegas Raiders' OTA session and watched the offense as quarterback reps showed big plays. Kirk Cousins remained the No. 1 quarterback this week, with Aidan O'Connell and Fernando Mendoza following in the rotation. OC Andrew Janocko called Brady an unbelievable resource, and Brock Bowers said Brady has been around more this offseason. Absences included Jermod McCoy (knee), Taron Johnson, Nakobe Dean, and Ian Thomas, while Matt Gay, Jalen Nailor, and Benito Jones returned. The starting offensive line stayed the same from last week (Miller, Burford, Linderbaum, Powers-Johnson, Glaze), with Trey Zuhn at guard and a plan for him to play all five positions.

Raiders' 2026 slate signals a reset: no primetime games, late bye, Mendoza chatter

Raiders.com columnist Paul Gutierrez notes Las Vegas won’t have any primetime or international games in 2026 (a first since 2010), faces a road-heavy start with a notably late Week 13 bye, and will play a Bay Area game in Week 9 rather than Mexico City. The piece highlights a brutal slate from NFC West and AFC West opponents, the ongoing Mendoza/Cousins quarterback chatter, and a bold projection that the Raiders will at least match their 2025 three wins before the bye, with additional wins possible late in the season.
