Michael Mayer looks to take on larger role with Raiders offense

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is preparing for a larger role in the 2026 offense under head coach Klint Kubiak. Drafted in 2023, Mayer's position in the lineup changed after Brock Bowers joined the team, but both tight ends are expected to work together effectively. During training camp, Mayer showcased his skills with standout plays, including a long touchdown and a notable catch over the middle. Despite a challenging past season, Mayer aims to build on his previous improvements. Noteworthy occurrences at camp include a scuffle between Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby, and positive performances from several other players.
