Raiders Show Promise in Texans Joint Practice | Las Vegas News

The Las Vegas Raiders turned heads in a joint practice with the Houston Texans, showcasing flashes of potential despite being in rebuilding mode. Running backs Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. dominated the ground game, while Caleb Rogers stepped up as a reliable offensive lineman. Quarterback Kirk Cousins praised the unit’s progress, and tight end Brock Bowers wowed with a touchdown catch — earning high praise from both coaches. Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza got crucial reps against elite defense, even if he’s still developing. The defense shone too, with standout plays from Quay Walker, Maxx Crosby, and a solid inside linebacker corps. Head coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged room for growth — especially in the run game — but was encouraged by the reps gained against a tough Texans front. This practice wasn’t just about wins; it was about building momentum, resilience, and future promise. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
