The Oakland Raiders took the field on a warm sunny Tuesday for Day 1 of their mandatory three-day mini-camp at the team’s Alameda, Calif., facility. Due to the facility upgrades and construction, the route to the field is much different this week. After a brisk walk, here is what I saw today…
QB Derek Carr was a full participant in today’s mini-camp. His throwing improved throughout the session and he routinely threw tight spirals with zip. He does need to do some timing and rapport work with his receivers.
Play of the Day
WR Andre Holmes, who apparently now folds for easy storage, contorted his body and adjusted to an underthrown ball and made a nice fingertip grab at the top of the blades of grass along the left sideline.
