The Las Vegas Raiders will rely on safety Isaiah Pola-Mao in Week 3 following Treydan Stukes’ continued absence due to concussion protocol. Stukes missed practices leading up to the game, increasing the pressure on Pola-Mao, who played 38 snaps in Week 2. Coach Kellen Moore's Saints offense appears poised for a challenge as quarterback Tyler Shough, the league leader in passing yards, aims to exploit this matchup. Pola-Mao has experience with 63 career appearances, providing some confidence for the Raiders coaching staff as he steps into a larger role.
