Chargers

To take it past today would be going over the legal limit.” (Kris Rhim)

Raiders
Raiders DE Tyree Wilson is entering the third year of his career and is still looking to break through as a starter. Wilson feels like he’s playing “faster” going into 2025.
“I mean, y’all watch the tape, just like I do,” Wilson said, via Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I feel like I’m playing faster, way more fluid than I have been before. And it’s going to continue to get better.”
Raiders LB Elandon Roberts said Wilson is playing at a high speed in practice.
“We see it day in and day out in practice,” Roberts said. “(Wilson is) just playing with game speed.”
Wilson said he’s being more reactive on the field and has been fine-tuning his technique this offseason.
“Don’t think, just go and react to whatever shows up in front of you,” Wilson said. “It’s more just working on craft now. Getting the right technique.”
