Raiders focused on Denver

As the Las Vegas Raiders prepare to face the Denver Broncos, head coach Antonio Pierce is maintaining focus amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding star wide receiver Davante Adams, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Despite reports of Adams wanting out, Pierce emphasized the team's commitment to preparation for the Broncos, who boast a formidable defense ranked among the best in the league. Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy acknowledged the pressure posed by the Broncos' defensive line, which has been effective in creating sacks and disrupting opposing offenses. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers may take on an expanded role in Adams' absence, as the Raiders seek to snap an eight-game losing streak against Denver. The game comes at a critical juncture for both teams, each holding a 2-2 record and looking to gain momentum in the season.
