Raiders get key defensive player back on field

Related Topics: Raiders, Malcolm Koonce

The Las Vegas Raiders got a major boost this week when starting defensive end Malcolm Koonce returned to the practice field for the first team since tearing the ACL in a knee three days before the 2024 regular season started while on the practice field.

The Raiders are in their third week of voluntary OTA sessions and media was allowed to watch practice Thursday. Koonce was participating for the first time this spring according to multiple reports.

That is a great sign that Koonce should be able to work through training camp and be on pace to play when the regular season starts Sept.
