    Roster Cuts Loom as Jeanty's Injury Reshapes Backfield

    Camp is over, and Raider Nation is staring down two deadlines at once: tonight's preseason finale against the San Francisco 49ers, and Saturday's roster cut down to 53 names. Scott Gulbransen breaks down both, starting with the injury hanging over everything. Ashton Jeanty went down diving for a low Kirk Cousins pass Sunday and couldn't put weight on his right leg, prompting the entire team to take a knee in prayer. Head coach Klint Kubiak stayed characteristically tight-lipped on Tuesday, offering only "he's on the mend," but reports since then point to a low ankle sprain rather than anything long-term. Scott lays out why there's still a real chance Jeanty opens the season on the shelf, and why that makes fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. one of the most important names in the building. With Jeanty sidelined the last two practices, Washington stepped into first-team work, showed real growth as a pass catcher out of the backfield, and is averaging over 8 yards a carry through two preseason games. From there, Scott runs through the rest of the rookie class making late-camp noise: second-round safety Treydan Stukes, who's taking heavy first-team reps and drawing praise from defensive coordinator Rob Leonard; cornerback Darien Porter, whose recovery speed has shown up against Brock Bowers and Jalen Nailor; and offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III, whose versatility across the line could be the difference-maker in a crowded position group. Plus the latest on No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, his chemistry with Malik Benson, why Scott still doesn't think he should start Week 1, and how Kubiak is keeping the quarterback competition close to the vest. Also in this episode: the right guard battle between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers, what to watch for tonight against the 49ers, a call from Anders in Oakland pushing back on the offensive line and the Mendoza timeline, and Scott's honest read on where this rebuild actually stands heading into Week 1.

    Ashton Jeanty Injury Scare + Mike Washington Jr. Breakout & Cousins-Mendoza Battle

    Ashton Jeanty's ankle sprain sends a jolt through Raider Nation, but Scott Gulbransen explains why the backfield may be in better shape than fans think, thanks to fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. Then it's the biggest question in Henderson: is this Kirk Cousins' team or Fernando Mendoza's, and what is head coach Klint Kubiak really signaling heading into Thursday's preseason finale against the San Francisco 49ers? In this episode: Jeanty's Sunday practice injury and what's known about the ankle sprain, Mike Washington Jr.'s preseason production (63 yards on 6 carries vs. Arizona, 56 yards on 9 carries vs. Houston) and what it means schematically under Kubiak, Kubiak's "job to lose" comment on Cousins, Fernando Mendoza's rough box score against Houston and the case for patience, Will Anderson's praise for Mendoza's poise, and a look at a struggling Raiders wide receiver room after Kubiak's blunt "we took a step backwards" comment. Plus caller Jacob from Fresno and a stack of viewer comments in the Raider Nation Court of Public Opinion. Silver and Black Today is part of the Believe Podcast Network.

    Silver & Black Verdicts: The Case for Starting Kirk Cousins Over Mendoza

    In the debut episode of Silver & Black Verdicts, Judge Gully puts Raider Nation's preseason panic on trial. After Fernando Mendoza's rough pick-six outing, fans and national media are ready to bench Kirk Cousins and hand the rookie the keys — but the court isn't buying it. Judge Gully lays out the defense: rushing a ten-year franchise investment before he's ready isn't patience; it's panic, and the same people demanding Mendoza now would be the first to blame the coaching staff if he struggled. Verdict: stay the path, start Cousins, let Mendoza develop on his own clock — case closed. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Raiders Survive Texans 22-20 — Is Fernando Mendoza Really in the Week 1 QB Mix?

    The Raiders escaped Houston with a 22-20 comeback win, but the real story broke after the final whistle. Fernando Mendoza ran the entire first half of the offense, threw an early pick-six, and struggled — then Aidan O'Connell came off the bench and threw for 166 yards, including the game-winning score. Afterward, head coach Klint Kubiak refused to name Kirk Cousins the Week 1 starter, telling reporters "We got another week. I don't want anyone to be comfortable in their job." On this episode of Silver & Black Today, Scott Gulbransen breaks down what Kubiak's comments actually mean for the quarterback competition, why Mendoza's rough start might matter less than the box score suggests, what Aidan O'Connell's performance does to that quarterback room, and every notable moment from the win over Houston — including Malik Benson's continued rise, the Jackson Powers-Johnson injury situation, and what to watch as the Raiders return to practice ahead of next week's preseason finale against the 49ers.

    Raiders O-Line Exposed vs. Texans: What It Means for Mendoza, Cousins, and Week 1

    Raider Nation, we asked for honest feedback all camp — well, we got it on Tuesday. Scott Gulbransen breaks down everything that came out of the Raiders' joint practices against the Houston Texans, starting with the offensive line getting worked by a legitimately talented Texans front. Protection breakdowns, a run game that never got going, and what it all means heading into tonight's preseason game. Then the real story of the week: Fernando Mendoza taking extensive reps with the first team, including multiple pick-sixes by both QBs, and how he handled it afterward. Scott explains why a rough day against a real NFL defense isn't a red flag — it's tuition — and lays out the difference between Kirk Cousins as the floor and Mendoza as the ceiling at quarterback. Also on deck: Klint Kubiak's measured response to Tuesday's practice, Brock Bowers returning to the field, the Powers-Johnson injury and what it means for Caleb Rogers' shot at right guard, the secondary competition with Darren Porter making noise, and a preview of what to watch for tonight as the Raiders take on the Texans in preseason game two.

    Fernando Mendoza's NFL Timeline Speeding up?, Roster Moves & Raiders Houston Preview

    Fernando Mendoza got his first live NFL action Thursday against Arizona — and the film tells a real story. On this episode of Silver and Black Today, Scott Gulbransen breaks down Mendoza's uneven-but-promising preseason debut, his touchdown pass to Jack Bech, and why his growing chemistry with rookie receiver Malik Benson might be the storyline that matters most heading into the season. Plus: Kirk Cousins locks down every first-team rep for a third straight practice, Brendan Jackson lands on IR after his Arizona injury, and the Raiders respond by signing veteran defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi. Scott also digs into Jermod McCoy's rough return from a 20-month injury layoff, Max Crosby's dominant week of practice, the still-unsettled right guard battle between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers, and a shuffling secondary as the Raiders prep for their joint practice and preseason game against the Houston Texans.

    Fernando Mendoza's NFL Debut with AP's Mark Anderson

    The Klint Kubiak era starts for real Thursday night at Allegiant Stadium, and Fernando Mendoza makes his first appearance in live NFL action. Scott Gulbransen sets the table on what actually matters in the Raiders' preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Kubiak confirmed his starters will play and said the club has a plan for snaps and series it isn't sharing publicly. Mendoza will get "plenty of reps." Scott lays out the three things to watch, and none of them are the stat line: the under-center exchange, whether Mendoza climbs the pocket or bails out the back, and what happens on the second read. Also on the watch list: the receiver rotation order, the Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers guard battle, the open cornerback job, and Mike Washington Jr.'s workload. GUEST: Mark Anderson, Associated Press. Mark covers the Raiders for the AP and joins the show to discuss what genuinely surprised him at training camp, whether Mendoza's under-center struggles are real or just rookie adjustment, Jack Bech's turnaround, what fans will notice about the Kubiak offense, the linebacker room, and his own top three things to watch Thursday night.
