Last season, Alex Bars emerged as a starter for the Las Vegas Raiders in an ever-evolving offensive line rotation.
This offseason, the Raiders did add some pieces but no for-sure starters. So, Bars is again battling for a starting job. It will continue through training camp and in the preseason (which starts Sunday when the Raiders host the San Francisco 49ers with a 1 p.m. PT kickoff).
Bars started 14 of 15 games played in his first season with Las Vegas in 2022. He had started a total of 11 games with the Chicago Bears in the first three seasons of his NFL career.
