Raiders Rookie Stock Check After Preseason Game 2 | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders are aggressively pushing their rookie class into key roles early in the rebuild, and after preseason game two, the roster picture is starting to sharpen. QB Fernando Mendoza’s stock has dipped following a weaker showing vs. Houston, with Kirk Cousins’ absence effectively sealing his Week One fate. Meanwhile, DB Treydan Stukes is trending up after a solid bounce-back performance. DE Cian Slone and RB Roman Hemby are surging with standout play, while RB Mike Washington Jr. continues to impress with explosive potential. On the downside, OL Trey Zuhn III struggled against tough competition, and DT Brandon Cleveland hasn’t made an impact — possibly headed to the practice squad. DE Keyron Crawford remains neutral, playing it safe without standing out or falling short. Cornerback Jermod McCoy also climbed the ranks after improving from his shaky debut.
