Offensive Raiders with the most to prove in 2022 preseason game No. 2

Alex Leatherwood

The biggest question mark when it comes to the Las Vegas Raiders is the offensive line, and Sunday, we will start to see it take shape once more. Brandon Parker was injured this past week and likely played his way out of a starting job against Jacksonville anyway, as he was blasted at left tackle.

Second-year offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood is a player that has been under the microscope all offseason, as the hope was he could be the team’s right tackle for the foreseeable future. Las Vegas has an elite left tackle in Kolton Miller, and some strong candidates for the interior of their offensive line, but right tackle is a major issue.

Today, keep an eye on all three of these players, as some are fighting for starting jobs, and some are just trying to lock in a backup role. There is more talent on this roster than there has been in some time, so earning a roster spot is only going to get harder.
