Overview
- Raiders coaches said Friday that McCoy has been working closely with the team’s head of player health and will be prepared to receive reps when training camp opens.
- McCoy was limited during OTAs and the mandatory minicamp while rehabbing the right knee he tore in 2025, so the team is prioritizing steady progress over rushing him back.
- The Raiders and coaches have highlighted McCoy’s explosiveness in individual drills and his high upside, built on 2024 college production and strong Pro Day numbers.
- McCoy enters a clear competition for a starting job against incumbents such as Darien Porter and young players like Zeke Masses, with coaches treating the position as open.
- Analysts say Las Vegas could sign a veteran playmaker like Trevon Diggs as short‑term insurance if McCoy’s recovery or readiness raises concerns, a move that would alter the Raiders’ defensive plans under new coordinator Rob Leonard.
