HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders open the 2022 NFL regular season at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 11 at SoFi Stadium.
Big names dot the Raiders' roster at the offensive skill positions -- quarterback Derek Carr, wide receivers Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, tight end Darren Waller, running back Josh Jacobs -- as well as on defense, with Pro Bowl edge rushers Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones along with Pro Bowl linebacker Denzel Perryman.
But the key to the whole thing may very well rest with the grunts.
