Las Vegas Raiders Make Final Training Camp Decision

The Las Vegas Raiders may have endured more change than any other NFL team this offseason. As such, their expectations are a bit of a mixed bag heading into the 2025 season.

With the offseason program over, meaning OTAs and mandatory minicamp have now been completed, the team has broke for the summer. They will return for training camp in July to begin the preseason program.

Last year, the team spent training camp away from the team facility, opting for the Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, California, instead.

This year, new head coach Pete Carroll wanted to return to the team's previous home of Redwood Middle School in Napa, California, but the idea was shot down. On Wednesday, however, the Raiders officially announced their training camp location and schedule.

The Raiders will hold training camp at the team facility in Henderson, Nevada, ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Rookies will report to camp on July 17, and veterans will report on July 22.

Las Vegas brought in a franchise-record 11 players during the 2025 NFL Draft, as well as roughly 15 undrafted free agents. The class is highlighted by running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receivers Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton, as well as cornerback Darien Porter.

These players will look to continue building a rapport with veteran free agent additions like Geno Smith, Germaine Pratt, Elandon Roberts and Jeremy Chinn. This is a completely new-look Raiders team, vastly different from 2024's four-win roster.

Fans will get their first chance to watch this version of the Silver and Black when they take the field for their first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 7. This will give Smith and new head coach Pete Carroll a chance to travel to their old city and take on their former team.

Two more preseason games will be played on August 16 and 23 against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. A joint practice is expected to be held on August 14 against the 49ers.
