The Las Vegas Raiders are heading into Week 2 of training camp, which means the pads are starting to come on and the practices will become much more physical. That is a good thing for the coaching staff as they try to figure out their linebacker situation going into the year.
Robert Spillane was the team’s top linebacker over the last two seasons, but he left in free agency for the Patriots in March. That leaves the Raiders with a bunch of older veterans like Elandon Roberts, Germaine Pratt and Devin White competing for snaps. But there is one younger player who is worth paying attention to over the next few weeks, and that is Tommy Eichenberg.
