Who else’s juices are pumping with football back!? 🏈🔙 We have a show packed with pigskin in store Saturday night at 11:30 on @KTNV as @alexeschelman and I dive into #Raiders training camp, UNLV fall camp, and more in Vegas sports. See you then!



Unfortunate situation for Christian Wilkins and the #Raiders after high hopes he'd be a defensive linchpin. In his five games as a Raider before suffering a broken foot, Wilkins totaled 17 tackles and two sacks. After complications in his rehab, Wilkins' time in Vegas is over.
"We have a good, young, spunky group of (DTs) now." After releasing Christian Wilkins mid-camp, Pete Carroll's #Raiders preach competition in the trenches while the new-look, new-feel team 'already has a sense that we have something special.' @KTNV
In Monarchs, "you can coach football, you can go to a movie, you can mow your front lawn." Rocking custom Monarchs with #Raiders branding, Pete Carroll should be an official Nike spokesperson.
"The invitation is wide open and we need them." #Raiders HC Pete Carroll challenges fans to make their way to the team facility in Henderson for open training camp practices on 7/27, 7/28, 7/31, 8/1, 8/5, 8/10, 8/13. Open practice at Allegiant Stadium is on 8/2. #RaiderNation
“It feels like we didn’t miss a beat from OTA’s.” #Raiders OT Kolton Miller says the team ‘came back with purpose’ and thinks the offense and defense have ‘taken steps every day’ of training camp so far.
#Raiders OT Kolton Miller interrupts Pete Carroll’s presser telling reporters to back up 😂
Where Pete Carroll thrives: sidelines, gum aisles, Vegas dance floors?
A day after Christian Wilkins was released, the #Raiders defensive line is back to work at training camp. DTs Leki Fotu, Jonah Laulu, and Adam Butler get their hands on the dirt while DEs Maxx Crosby and Tyree Wilson work pass rush drills.
No fans at Day 3 of #Raiders training camp but the energy and fun remain the same. (#69 Adam Butler's way of going through stepover dummies is hilarious)
In his element: It's #Raiders HC Pete Carroll's 19th training camp as an NFL head coach but he seems to enjoy it as much as the first 🔥
John Spytek is on the field with his two sons at Day 3 of #Raiders training camp. His younger son is wearing an Ashton Jeanty Raiders jersey and is probably happy that his dad took his advice.


“We never lose. We just don’t win sometimes.” 😂 This fan sums up the energy at #Raiders training camp: ‘2025 baby! Super Bowl champions!!’ @TaylorRochaTV
Looking back, the Christian Wilkins and Gardner Minshew introductory presser last March did not age well. The free agent signings on four-year, $110M and two-year, $25M deals both ended up going one-and-done.
Christian Wilkins was on the field early in OTAs, last seen here on May 22. He would no longer be present at practice amid a dispute with the team over whether or not to get surgery after a setback in his recovery from a Jones fracture suffered last season. Now he's no longer a…
It's been speculated that this was the moment Christian Wilkins broke his foot last season in Week 5 at the Broncos. Adam Butler jumps on Wilkins mid-celebration in the 2nd quarter and Wilkins leaves the game soon after. Now, the #Raiders release last year's free agent splash…
A stunner: The #Raiders are releasing standout DT Christian Wilkins, the former prize of free agency after just one season of a five-year, $110M deal, sources say. Wilkins, who has been dealing with a serious foot injury, is on the books for $57.5M fully guaranteed.
