Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak expressed confidence in rookie wide receiver Malik Benson during a media availability on August 16. Following a preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Kubiak noted that Benson has "earned" first-team reps, indicating his emerging role ahead of the season opener on September 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Benson, who caught two passes for 26 yards in the preseason opener, is positioned as a starter alongside veteran Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker. The Raiders also signed veteran wide receiver Noah Brown, bringing additional experience to the receiver corps that has been a concern for depth leading into the 2026 season.
