Overview

  • Backup QB Aidan O’Connell, thrust into extended action, threw two interceptions including an underthrown deep ball picked off by Josh Jobe.
  • Geno Smith’s lone opening series underscored his entrenched role as the Raiders’ starter as the team prioritizes roster evaluation.
  • Rookie running back Ashton Jeanty struggled with three carries for minus one yard in his preseason debut as Las Vegas gauges young talent.
  • On his Seattle return, Carroll confessed to fleeting moments of confusion when he mistook Seahawks highlights for Raiders plays on Lumen Field’s screens.
