Raiders Prepare for Home Opener Against Panthers

The Los Angeles Rams are struggling at 0-2, facing significant injuries, particularly to star wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. ESPN's Mina Kimes has suggested trading quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Las Vegas Raiders, given Stafford's declining performance and the Rams' potential need to rebuild. The Raiders, currently 1-1, are preparing for their home opener against the Carolina Panthers, who will start veteran quarterback Andy Dalton after Bryce Young's poor performance. Dalton's past success against Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham poses a challenge for a Raiders defense that has shown promise. Additionally, the emergence of second-year cornerback Jakorian Bennett has bolstered the Raiders' defensive efforts, as he leads the team in pass breakups. Meanwhile, the New York Giants, despite a narrow loss to the Washington Commanders, are considering a long-term solution at quarterback, potentially looking to draft a replacement for Daniel Jones in the upcoming draft.
