Las Vegas Raiders to start 2024 training camp without several starters

Tuesday in Southern California , the Las Vegas Raiders started training camp in Costa Mesa, just 30 miles away from where head coach Antonio Pierce grew up. So, this is a bit different for him, and he talked about that extensively.

But, training camp is where the real work gets started. It's where the team starts their 2024 season, because now, every week, they will have football. The pads aren't on yet, and won't be till next week, but this is where the real work begins. Right now, it's all practice until the preseason comes in a few weeks. And when the preseason comes, that's when the football games get played, and that's when it gets even more intense. And for the Raiders, they will have a pretty intense preseason as well.

The rookies reported to camp a few days ago, and the veterans are still in Las Vegas and will report on Wednesday.

However, some players, like Michael Gallup who retired on Tuesday, and even starters on the team, will not be getting started on Wednesday. Instead, they will have to wait a bit.

The Raiders posted and announced on Tuesday, that there were some players on the team who needed to be placed on injured lists.

The Raiders placed linebacker Darien Butler, guard Jake Johanning, guard Jackson Powers-Johnson, wide receiver Jalen Guyton, and tackle Kolton Miller on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

This is not a long-term thing, but, we can expect these guys to miss at least a few days of camp. However, this is an opportunity for other players to step up.
