Raiders head coach Pete Carroll worked with Jamal Adams when both men were with the Seahawks and that familiarity helped Adams land a job with Carroll's new team this week.

The Las Vegas Raiders are currently holding a competition for the starting cornerback spot in training camp, and head coach Pete Carroll provided a major update on the position battle. According to Levi Edwards of Raiders.com, Carroll stated that third-round rookie Darien Porter has been taking first-team reps in training camp.

According to Pro Football Focus, Wilson made 37 pressures, finishing only just behind players like Kayvon Thibodeaux (38) and Joey Bosa (39). Wilson's 72.4 run defense grade ranked 29th among 211 edge defenders.

The new coach has set an optimistic tone as training camp kicks off in Las Vegas. Here are the highlights from Wednesday's opening session.

New Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll expressed excitement about the team's upcoming training camp, which starts Wednesday.

After signing with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week, Jamal Adams will be changing positions and switching from safety to WILL linebacker, coach Pete Carroll said Friday. Adams, 29, was signed by the Raiders on Tuesday after being a free agent for much of the offseason leading into training camp.

Pete Carroll isn't mincing words about the Raiders' secondary, even if what he has to say may sound a bit far-fetched.

My expectations are about as high as they can get,” Carroll said the day before camp began. “There's no limit. We're going for it.”
