- The Raiders return to the practice field for the first time in more than six weeks this morning at the team’s Henderson headquarters with much to sort out.
New coach Klint Kubiak’s first training camp begins with several jobs undetermined ahead of Las Vegas’ season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium and even its preseason debut hosting the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 13. The Raiders expect to have players facing off in practice for the first-team snaps at quarterback, wide receiver and most of the offensive line spots, for starters.
“For every position, there’s got to be competition,” Kubiak said shortly after players were required to report to the facility Tuesday morning. “The best player has to play.”
The Sun’s Case Keefer and Ray Brewer broke down all the competition and more in their first Raiders-centric sports podcast of the new season.

- Roger Loesch spent eight years fighting the Department of Veterans Affairs for benefits he believed he had already earned. It took an unaccredited company two months to finish the job — and charge him for it.
That’s the trade-off at the center of a growing fight that has reached Congress.
In June, Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., signed on as a cosponsor of the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act, which calls for reinstating criminal penalties against unaccredited companies that charge unauthorized fees and aims to ban predatory tactics in VA benefit assistance. The bill has companion legislation in the U.S. House.
