We had heard all offseason about the progress Tre Tucker had made this offseason. But we didn’t see a whole lot of it in camp. On the Raiders third drive of their preseason opener in Minnesota, we saw it. And…wow.
Tre Tucker goes full extension for the catch! @Raiders

With the Raiders at their own 25, up 10-7, Tre Tucker went deep. Gardner Minshew launched it and Tucker went and got it.
As impressive as the full extension for Tucker was his adjustment with the ball in the air. He turned away and took his eyes off the ball, then relocated it in the air, laid out and made the grab 44 yards down the field.
Six plays later, the Raiders were in the end zone again on a Zamir White run up the middle to take a 17-7 lead.
Tucker has two catches in the game for 73 yards to lead the Raiders. Minshew is five of eight for 114 yards and a touchdown.
