The Las Vegas Raiders roster will begin to take shape once training camp kicks off, and here are some position battles to watch.

The Las Vegas Raiders will be kicking off their annual training camp on July 27 and there are plenty of reasons to be excited about that upcoming date. Last year the Raiders roster, and every NFL team, had to deal with the challenges of a modified training camp schedule due to COVID-19 precautions, which lead to some players not getting the reps necessary to prepare for the season.

This season, it is all systems go with the traditional training camp setup except location, as the Raiders will not be in Napa, CA for the second year in a row. So instead of vineyards and wineries, the team will have the Nevada desert as the backdrop, but there will be plenty of exciting battles to keep them busy in the meantime.

The Raiders fell just short of the playoffs in 2020 and are in the midst of a massive roster reload, especially on the offensive line and all over the defense. Several positions are up for grabs ahead of training camp and preseason and we here at Just Blog Baby picked the position battles we are most looking forward to.
