The most surprising development in the first week of training camp practices for the Las Vegas Raiders have been the battle at center between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Jordan Meredith.
And make no mistake, this is a true battle.
Meredith worked with the first team offense on Tuesday. It was the third time in six practices that has been the case. So, this is more than just an experiment. These two are competing for the starting job and Las Vegas head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that fact after practice.
“Both guys are battling and it just makes us better,” Carroll said Tuesday.
