Updated Raiders Depth Chart Ahead of First Preseason Game

The Las Vegas Raiders have completed training camp and released their most recent depth chart. On Thursday, the Raiders will face the Arizona Cardinals at Allegiant Stadium. It will be the first time the Raiders take the field under head coach Klint Kubiak.

The Raiders took several strides in training camp. The changes implemented and the hard work put in during positional battles in camp have made an early impact on the depth chart. Las Vegas' depth chart has a few changes from what was expected entering training camp.

Las Vegas aims to turn things around after several disappointing seasons that led to the firing of multiple head coaches, most recently Pete Carroll. Kubiak knows the work to rebuild the Raiders is just beginning. He recently gave insight into how the development process has gone so far.

“Well, I think I would say, a compliment our players, is that it's not so much about listening to me; it's about what it takes to win. We want to win. Our players want to win. And the things that it takes to win is for us to be together and be connected and operate as one unit,” Kubiak said.

“So, I think it just shows the maturity of our group, knowing we're going to point things out. But at the end of the day, they decide what kind of team that they want to be, and thus far they've showed us they're a mature group that they want to go win games the right way."

Las Vegas needs as much physical action against other teams as possible, while minimizing injuries, to further solidify its depth chart. While many positions on the depth chart have been settled, several more remain and will need the full slate of preseason practices and games to confirm.

Below is the Raiders' updated depth chart following training camp, but before their first preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals.

Thoughts on Depth Chart

Based on training camp, there are not many surprises on the depth chart, if any. However, Brennan Jackson being listed as an edge rusher is notable, not groundbreaking. There are a lot of games in every season; Las Vegas has done all it reasonably could in one offseason to prepare.

Las Vegas' updated depth chart clearly shows the roster spots that have improved and the roster spots that still need work. Specifically, Las Vegas' depth remains an issue across multiple roster positions. They must be willing to develop that depth by giving them meaningful minutes.
