Las Vegas Raiders Name Gardner Minshew Starting Quarterback

The Las Vegas Raiders concluded their training camp with a preseason tie against the San Francisco 49ers, showcasing several players vying for roster spots. Head coach Antonio Pierce praised running back-turned-wide receiver Amari and highlighted the team's competitive spirit during the game. Gardner Minshew has officially been named the starting quarterback, receiving strong support from teammates like Kolton Miller, who noted Minshew's competitive nature and timing. Minshew expressed his excitement about leading the offense and emphasized the importance of forming a team identity. Despite his promotion, Minshew's position isn't secure, as the team is still evaluating Aidan O'Connell as a potential starter if Minshew struggles. The Raiders are focused on building momentum as they prepare for the regular season.
