11:12 am.: The Raiders reportedly have their first player in reserve/covid-19 list. In a conference call with reporters, Jon Gruden did not confirm any positive tests.

Johnson said in a statement that he tested negative after that camp. Thus far, no Raiders have publicly tested positive this month.

July 28

9:23 a.m.: Many NFL players are opting out of the season, including several members of the New England Patriots and former Raider Eddie Vanderdoes.

7:21 a.m.: Raiders’ receiver Hunter Renfrow is excited about today’s events as the Raiders start camp. It’s not much, but it’s a start to football. Amen.

8:38 a.m.: Yes, the Seahawks can still bring in Jadeveon Clowney.

July 24

12:40 p.m.: The Raiders may have some issues if the 2021 salary cap is low, But so would many teams.

8:51 a.m.: There is still some questions of how many players will go to training camp for each team.

July 23

3:15 p.m.: The process has begun for some Raiders’ players.

11:02 a.m.: We have a goal of Sunday. Let’s see.

9:59 a.m.: No agreement yet. Training camp is supposed to start in five days. Tick, tick, tick …

July 22

11:03 a.m.: If you’re going to an NFL game this season, you will be wearing a face covering. That may not matter in Las Vegas. Raiders’ owner Mark Davis said recently that he is not confident fans will be present at Allegiant Stadium in 2020.

9:36 a.m.: Here is some information on how the Raiders may get to the 80-man roster in training camp.

July 20

1:11 p.m.: Pro Football Talk is reporting the league and the NFLPA have agreed to daily coronavirus testing . That is a huge step toward there being NFL football in 2020.

8:51 am.: The man has spoken.

8:23 a.m.: NFL players can opt out of the season by August. 1.

July 16

11:46 a.m.: Las Vegas is near the top of the coronavirus rise list among NFL cities. That could be bad news when it comes to the Raiders’ chances of starting training camp on time.

July 15

11:43 a.m.: Raiders’ owner Mark Davis will participate in a meeting Friday to discuss the start of training camp.

10:23 am.: Other teams are talking to pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue about a new deal, but the Jaguars are still waiting to trade him. The Raiders have been connected to him and it seems current cap room isn’t a big issue. It’s something to monitor.

July 14

10:52 a.m.: Could the Raiders make a run at Jaguars’ pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue in the next 24 hours?

9:12 am.: Next year is going to be a great time to pick up a running back in the draft or in free agency. But the Raiders should be set.

July 8

2:10 p.m.: An interesting player has requested a trade. But the Raiders are set at running back.

1:31 p.m.: It appears NFL players will have the chance to opt out of the season like players in other sports. Few have opted out in other leagues, and I’m sure, we’ll see the same trend in the NFL. But there will likely be some NFL players who do opt out.

10:46 a.m.: The Ravens may have just given other NFL teams a model to follow this season. They told fans that their capacity will be 14,000 this season if fans are allowed to games. That’s not a whole lot.

10:03 a.m.: The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to safety guidelines during training camp.

July 7

9:27 a.m.: The NFLPA is not happy with the NFL as everyone tries to figure out how to play this season.

July 6

10:04 a.m. The Browns reportedly don’t want to deal tight end David Njoku, who wants to be traded. The Raiders are more than fine at that position, so I wouldn’t expect a pursuit.

July 1

1:00 p.m.: There won’t be a supplemental draft this year.
