Winners and losers of the first week of training camp for the Las Vegas Raiders

The pads have come on for the Raiders and it finally feels like football is here. While we are still only a few practices in, there have been a few clear-cut winners and losers from practice. Let’s take a look at the players who have stood out, for better or worse, during practice for the Raiders.

Winner: WR Bryan Edwards

One of the biggest winners of all training camp so far has to be wide receiver Bryan Edwards. After missing all the pre-draft process with a foot injury, Edwards has impressed both the coaching staff and his teammates due to his physicality and ball skills.

Edwards dominated Tuesday’s padded practice, making several contested catches according to reporters on hand. For being a rookie, he’s unbelievably polished and his size and body control make him an easy target for his quarterback.

While Edwards might not be ready to take a starting job by Week 1, you can fully expect that he will be a big part of the team’s offense going forward.
