Training Camp Notebook 8/21: The Raiders conclude their final camp practice.
As the Raiders approach the end of training camp, it’s been a fun trip with a few grueling days.
Wednesday was the end of the Silver and Black’s final practice before their preseason matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. More significantly, the game will provide a few young players one last opportunity to secure a spot for the upcoming season. This Friday’s game marks the team’s final home game at Allegiant Stadium until Week 3 of the regular season.
There was still a sense of urgency on the field even though it was the last session. Here are some salient points from the Raiders practice facility on Wednesday night.
During red zone drills, Gardner Minshew II hit Davante Adams with a brilliant read that resulted in a score on the opening play of team session. As everything fell apart, the quarterback moved up in the pocket and discovered that No. 17 was wide open after a zigzag route. The next play, Minshew used a screen pass to find Jakobi Meyers for another touchdown. “It’s over, we’re done splitting reps,” Antonio Pierce declared before to drills. “Gordon has to take the initiative and see what we currently lack—namely, that we haven’t been playing as a team throughout the camp, unlike most teams that start a starter from day one.
got a lot of reps when Pierce revealed Bradley will start the season’s last game. from South Alabama. Pierce stated, “I think he’s done a good job of growing.” “You have your ups and downs, just like any rookie. Additionally, I believe there aren’t many reps in a quarterback fight. Thus, he didn’t have many chances, but he’ll have an excellent opportunity to shine in two nights.”
A dime in the end zone from Aidan O’Connell to Zach Gentry was, in my opinion, the play of the day. The 6-foot-8 tight end was able to jump up and get it over two defenders after O’Connell threw him a fade. Gentry reached out and grabbed multiple times.

Protection
Jakorian Bennett exhibited his quick reflexes during red zone drills by deflecting a pass brilliantly to energize his defenders. In an effort to unseat Jack Jones as the starting outside cornerback, the second-year cornerback is working hard.
Throughout practice, Amari Gainer played with a lot of enthusiasm, chasing down screens and figuring out how to be in the ideal place. After two strong preseason games, the North Carolina UDFA might see a lot of playing time on Friday night. “Amari performed incredibly well. “He’s a physically strong and attractive linebacker,” Pierce remarked.
