Raiders Carroll, Smith Return to Seattle for Preseason Opener

News summary

Pete Carroll makes his return to Seattle as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in their preseason opener against the Seahawks, a game that holds special significance given his 14-year tenure with Seattle and Super Bowl victory there. Despite the emotional backdrop, Carroll downplays the game’s importance, focusing instead on the Raiders' development and viewing it as just another preseason matchup. Quarterback Geno Smith, traded to the Raiders after six seasons in Seattle under Carroll, expressed enthusiasm about returning to the city where he revitalized his career, calling it a special place. The game also serves as a homecoming for linebacker Jamal Adams, another former Seahawk now with the Raiders. While Carroll emphasizes the present and the need to evaluate talent and prepare for the regular season, Seattle plans to honor Carroll, Smith, and Adams with a tribute during the game. Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald encourages fans to warmly welcome the returning figures before the competitive action begins.
