Previously, we dove into the Las Vegas Raiders’ 53-man roster spot competitions on offense during training camp. Here, we’re flipping sides of the ball and focusing on the defense to wrap up the battles to make the team.
As a reminder, this is a look at the competitions to make the roster and not for playing time, meaning the focus is on players who enter camp on the bubble.
Defensive Tackle
Main contenders: Byron Young, Nesta Jade Silvera, Matthew Butler, Marquan McCall
Other contenders: Tomari Fox, Noah Shannon
The Raiders have three interior defensive linemen—Christian Wilkins, John Jenkins and Adam Butler—whose roster spots are locked in heading into camp.
