Las Vegas Raiders training camp: QB battle and breakout prospects

During the 2026 preseason training camp in Las Vegas, the Raiders have intensified the quarterback competition. In Wednesday drills, veteran Derek Carr and rookie prospect Tommy Edwards focused on timing routes, while defensive lineman newcomer Noah Johnson made an immediate impact with his pass rush.

On the outside, second‑year receiver Malik Thompson is expanding his route tree to earn more targets. The coaching staff says these developments will shape the roster depth and offensive scheme heading into the regular season.
