The spirit of competition ran rampant through the Las Vegas Raiders' training camp and extended into the preseason. The most important roster battle was at right guard, where the new coaching staff was deciding between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Alex Cappa.
While Raider Nation knew what side they were on, the coaching staff wanted to give the $11 million veteran every chance to supplant the All-Rookie interior offensive lineman from last season. However, Cappa missed the first two preseason games with a rib injury.
On Saturday, Cappa returned to the lineup, and for the first time, both he and Powers-Johnson were available at the same time.
