The Raiders training camp dates are set. And unlike during weirdly (and unnecessarily dickish) super-secret Josh McDaniels days, the Raiders actually released the full schedule ahead of camp.
Camp will be held in Costa Mesa in Southern California this year as the Raiders look to smartly get out of the hottest Vegas days while enjoying some team bonding away from home.
The team will be in Costa Mesa from July 20 thru August 9. The full team will hold a total of 11 practices there with media access over a two-week span.
Generally speaking, most practices will take place from about 10am to noon unless otherwise noted.
