Raiders face concerns ahead of Week 3 matchup against Saints
Summary

The Raiders, currently 2-0, prepare for a challenging matchup against the Saints, who are 1-1, in New Orleans. Key issues for Las Vegas include the Saints' potent passing attack led by QB Tyler Shough and the absence of starting safety Treydan Stukes due to a concussion. Additionally, the Raiders will contend with the intense environment of Caesars Dome, which poses its own difficulties, particularly for communication on offense. The Saints' ability to rally late in games adds to the challenge for the Raiders as they seek to maintain their unbeaten streak.
