Notes from the Oakland Raiders 2016 Training Camp.

The Oakland Raiders get back at it today in their fifth training camp practice, after a much-deserved rest yesterday.

Obvious players like Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper are wowing people and making plays, but less obvious players like UDFA’s Jonny Holton and Jalen Richard are doing the same.

There are some interesting things happening around the team that are worth noting, and a few position battles that have been quite intense as coach Jack Del Rio looks to pull the most out of his squad.

Del Rio is back for his second season, and after instilling high expectations and accountability in the team last year, he looks forward to the fruits of those efforts coming to fruition on the field.

Before the Silver & Black reprise on-field duties later today, let’s look back at the first four practices and see what has jumped out thus far.
