Seven Raiders players absent as OTA sessions conclude

The Las Vegas Raiders concluded their final OTA session with seven players missing, which included linebacker Nakobe Dean and rookie cornerback Jermod McCoy. Dean, who signed a substantial contract with the team this offseason, and McCoy, recovering from a previous injury, were both notable absences. The other players missing included safety Jeremy Chinn, wide receiver Jalen Nailor, tight ends Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon, and defensive tackle Benito Jones. These practices are voluntary; however, Dean and McCoy are expected to participate in the upcoming mandatory mini-camp next week.
