Raiders assess offensive line performance against Dolphins in season opener

Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders begin their 2026 NFL season on Sunday, September 13, against the Miami Dolphins. The game marks the debut of a rebuilt offensive line for the Raiders following a difficult 2025 campaign. Key additions include center Tyler Linderbaum and the return of offensive tackle Kolton Miller after an injury-plagued season. Coach Klint Kubiak has also installed Rich Dennison to lead the unit, which features Spencer Burford at guard alongside Jackson Powers-Johnson and DJ Glaze. On the opposite side, the Miami Dolphins have overhauled their defensive front, placing an increased focus on pass rusher Chop Robinson.
