Raiders OTAs: New Era Under Kubiak Begins
20 May
Summary
- Organized training activities mark the start of the Klint Kubiak era.
- The Raiders aim for improvement in 2026 with new leadership.
- Quarterback Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza face off.

The Las Vegas Raiders are starting organized training activities this week, initiating the Klint Kubiak and John Spytek regime. After a pivotal NFL Draft and a productive offseason, the Raiders aim for increased wins and consistency in the 2026 season.
Head coach Klint Kubiak, from the Shanahan/McVay coaching tree, will implement an offensive system designed to benefit the quarterbacks and playmakers. A significant focus during OTAs will be observing the operation of the offense by both Kirk Cousins and first-overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza.
Concerns linger regarding the knee injury of Tyree McCoy, a highly-touted defensive back. His participation level during OTAs could indicate his prospects for playing in the 2026 season and his potential impact on the Raiders' secondary.
