Raiders RB Kenyan Drake, DT Darius Stills come off NFI list

Raiders RB Kenyan Drake, DT Darius Stills come off NFI list

Day 3 of Raiders training camp saw two players take the field for the first time since players reported. Both Kenyan Drake and Darius Stills were on the team’s Non-Football Injury list to start camp and both practiced today, removing themselves from that list.

Running back Kenyan Drake took the field, which was a welcome sight in light of Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick not practicing yet this camp after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Drake was signed this offseason to join fellow Alabama alum Josh Jacobs in the Raiders backfield. He gives the Raiders a two-headed attack at running back, with designs on splitting him out wide some as well.

Stills is an undrafted rookie out of West Virginia who garnered some positive mention during minicamp. He was the Big-12 Defensive Lineman of the Year last year and looks to prove he was worthy of being selected in April’s draft.

Raiders 2021 season takes next big step today as players report to training camp

Break’s over. Raiders players report to training camp today

The break is over. The longest off time of the off-season ends today and the biggest step toward the season begins. It’s training camp report day for the Raiders.

The quarterbacks, rookies, and first-year players arrived on Saturday for their three-day pre-camp warmup. Today their veteran teammates join them, giving the Raiders their full camp roster on hand.

The full roster won’t be available right away. A few players are injured at the moment. Rookie LB Divine Deablo along with CB Isaiah Johnson will begin on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Undrafted rookie Darius Stills was placed on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list while OT Devery Hamilton was placed on the Non-Football Illness list.

Today is meetings. Tomorrow, the players take the field for the first time since minicamp in mid-June. Their coaches are hoping to pick up right where they left off six weeks ago. You can see the full training camp schedule here.

Full training camp for the Raiders is just days away. But as always — or at least for the past few years — there are a few players who report for the three-day pre-camp warmup.

Teams do this so that when training camp gets into full swing, the quarterbacks, rookies, first-year players have shaken off the rust when everyone else arrives.

The Raiders put out a short video of these players showing up to their facility in Henderson today.

Those in the video include several coaches and front office personnel along with members of the rookie draft class like OT Alex Leatherwood, S Trevon Moehrig, DE Malcolm Koonce, and LB Divine Deablo, quarterbacks Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota, and a first-year players like WR Caleb Scott.

These players will hold their pre-camp warmup on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The rest of the veterans report on Tuesday, July 26, and begin full team camp practices on Wednesday, July 27.
