Las Vegas Raiders Receive Major Boost Ahead Of 2024 NFL Season

The Las Vegas Raiders held another open practice at Allegiant Stadium on Tuesday, but this one gave the fans a nice surprise.

Leading the team onto the field, alongside Maxx Crosby, was Kolton Miller.

Miller, arguably the Raiders' best offensive lineman, was finally activated off the PUP list on Tuesday:

The PUP list stands for 'physically unable to perform', and Miller found himself on it after dealing with a shoulder injury this offseason. He had been on the list for a while now, but is coming back at a key time for Las Vegas.

This is a massive break for the Raiders, who need all the help they can get on the offensive side of the ball at the moment. The Raiders head into the 2024 regular season with a ton of questions on offense, but getting Miller back and healthy will calm things down significantly.

Miller was the first ever draft pick under the Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock regime back in 2018, being selected with the 15th overall pick. At first, Raiders fans weren't a big fan of the move, and most analysts called him a 'reach' of a selection.

Those rumors died down quick, as Miller developed into a star at left tackle. He's become one of the best players on the roster as a whole, an anchor on the offensive line that must perform well in 2024 for Las Vegas to have any shot at the playoffs.

Miller has a couple of weeks to get back to full speed, before the Raiders kick off their regular season.
