Things don’t look to get much easier this week with the Raiders (3-0) traveling to take on the Chargers (2-1) on Monday night after Los Angeles won at Kansas City this past week.

He prepares the right way, puts himself in position to come in, play as a backup, play in a starting role and I think he’s done a nice job from that standpoint. I think he’s preparing that way, preparing the same way he prepares every week this week. I think we’ve just got to build chemistry with the O-line, with the backs, with the tight ends, with the receivers, some timing and I think if we do that – we’ll work towards that throughout the course of the week.

Derek Carr Speaks Out On How Raiders Treat Carl Nassib After Coming Out As Gay

Carl Nassib has made his impact felt on the field for the Las Vegas Raiders. The defensive end came up large for the team in their epic Week 1 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Nassib made headlines after he stripped star QB Lamar Jackson, forcing a fumble to secure the overtime victory for the Raiders.
http://dlvr.it/S8HtDq

Column: Nassib coming out barely a blip for unbeaten Raiders

Turns out, it didn't cause a major uproar or tear up the locker room when the Raiders defensive end became the first prominent male athlete playing in a major U.S. team sport — the NFL, no less — to reveal he is gay. After decades of hang-wringing over the supposed negative impact a homosexual player would have on a team's chemistry, Nassib's brave announcement this past summer seems to have largely faded into the background.

Raiders' Infamous 'Black Hole' Co-Founder Passes, Jon Gruden Reacts

Even with the Oakland Raiders becoming the Las Vegas Raiders, there has been one constant over the course of the last several seasons—the team’s infamous “Black Hole. One of the more well-known and recognizable fan sections in all of professional sports, the “Black Hole” unfortunately lost one of its pioneers as Rob Rivera, a co-founder of the Raiders crazed group, passed away this week from complications stemming from COVID-19. An Oakland native, Rivera was in his 50s at the time of his passing.

Raiders not ready yet to celebrate 2-0 start

The Raiders started the season 2-0 for the third time in five seasons, but those fast starts failed to deliver winning records in 2017 and 2020. This year's version of the Raiders looks a little different thanks to an improved defense led by edge rusher Maxx Crosby and new coordinator Gus Bradley and even better play from Carr. But coach Jon Gruden knows his team needs to do much more to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
