Raiders training camp updates highlight standout players after first week
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders concluded the first week of their 2026 training camp, showcasing notable performances from various players. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has solidified his starting position, demonstrating strong play and health. Rookie wide receiver Malik Benson is making a case for a prominent role, while offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III has progressed on the depth chart to the second team right tackle. On the defensive side, Tonka Hemingway has consistently worked with the first team. Conversely, rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza has struggled in comparison to Cousins, and running back Dylan Laube has yet to prove impactful despite receiving plenty of reps. The team will look to build on these narratives as camp progresses and decisions on the roster continue.
