It has been a roller coaster first preseason back for Jon Gruden as head coach of the Oakland Raiders, as he has had to navigate this new roster, and do it without star defensive end Khalil Mack.
It is starting to look like Mack may begin the regular season away from the team, and will not be included in the 53-man roster prior to the Raiders Week 1 matchup.
In that matchup, the Raiders will play host to the Los Angeles Rams, and it will be played on Monday night, September 10. The 2018 Raiders have a bunch of new, and exciting weapons for Derek Carr and the offense, and their new coaching staff seems to be putting guys on both sides of the ball in the right position to make plays.
