The Oakland Raiders had their first full  team practice on Saturday, and here are three positions where there should be some opportunities early on.

With the 2019 training camp schedule kicking off for the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, it is time to start getting down to playing some real football. It has been a long offseason of not only speculation, but also growth, as this roster is much-improved from last summer.

As we begin to see practices take shape, we are already seeing some players who are getting out there and trying to make a name for themselves. We have also seen a couple of surprises early on in camp, like wide receiver Antonio Brown opening up camp by being placed on the non-football injury list.

While that is nothing to be concerned about, it does open up some opportunities for other wideouts to step up and possibly make this 53-man roster, or at least hang on with the practice squad. With training camp now in full swing, we take a look at some of the early storylines going on in Napa.
