The Las Vegas Raiders held their last training camp practice yesterday as they prepare for their final preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. That also means cutdown day is around the corner—Tuesday, August 29—so naturally, reporters asked head coach Josh McDaniels about how he plans to shape the roster.
While Jimmy Garoppolo is the Raiders’ unquestioned starter to begin the campaign, Las Vegas still has an interesting quarterback battle between backups Brian Hoyer and Aidan O’Connell to keep tabs on. O’Connell’s play in the preseason over the last two weeks suggests he’s ready for the QB2 role, however, the Silver and Black could still roster three signal-callers.
