## Resource

Rookie QB Fernando Mendoza is flashing potential but still wrestling with accuracy and timing against veterans, working hard with coaches to sharpen his footwork and route timing. Meanwhile, the Raiders are quietly building their WR corps without big-name free agents, spotlighting rising talent like Malik Benson. And while linebacker Nakobe Dean’s absence from practices has raised eyebrows, coaches confirm he’s been at the facility — and they’re taking a cautious, careful approach to ensure he’s 100% ready for camp, knowing his impact will be huge. The team’s focus? Internal growth, steady progress, and a strong foundation as training camp looms. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
