Raiders puzzling offensive line shuffle takes another weird turn
The Las Vegas Raiders have shuffled their starting offensive line throughout training camp, but it took a weird turn on Friday. According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Raiders had Jackson Powers-Johnson with the second team at right guard during Friday's practice. Dylan Parham and Alex Cappa served as the starters at guard for the first team on Friday, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Powers-Johnson, who started 14 games during his rookie campaign in 2024 and was solid, was initially competing for the starting center spot with Jordan Meredith in camp. However, the coaching staff has moved him to guard in recent days, and it looks like he was demoted to the second team on Friday. Though Las Vegas could be shuffling the offensive line to give reps to the depth piece, it's odd that Powers-Johnson is constantly switching between the starters and backups. The 22-year-old seemed like a lock to be a starter on the offensive line, but he could be competing for a spot on the unit. In 15 games last year, Powers-Johnson played 535 snaps at guard and 421 snaps at center. The Oregon product allowed just two sacks and 23 quarterback pressures, and was also a stout run blocker. A second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Powers-Johnson is expected to be a future building block on the Raiders' offensive line, but the recent rotations on the group signal that he could be fighting for a chance to start on the interior.

Raiders beat writer explains possible reason behind Las Vegas' unexpected offensive line shuffle
All offseason long, offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson was expected to be the Las Vegas Raiders' starting center in his second season. The expectation made sense considering JPJ was a center in college and was solid at the position in his rookie campaign that first saw him play left guard before a switch to center and then a return to left guard to close out the season. In all, Powers-Johnson posted a Pro Football Focus run-blocking grade of 70.4 and a pass-blocking grade of 68.3 while giving up just two sacks and 23 total pressures over 633 pass-blocking snaps. However, despite all that, fellow offensive lineman Jordan Meredith has been rotating with Powers-Johnson at center in practice. And, on Thursday, Powers-Johnson played at right guard and Meredith was at center, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. That setup left veteran Alex Cappa on the outside looking in when it comes to the starting offensive line after he was considered the favorite for a guard spot. Bonsignore has a possible explanation for why the Raiders are taking a look at a pairing of JPJ and Meredith at guard and center. "I think it's more that they feel Jordan (Meredith) profiles better at center than guard and that JPJ can be a pro bowl level player at either spot," he wrote. Meredith made eight starts in 2024, playing at both guard spots. He was a pleasant surprise for Las Vegas, posting strong Pro Football Focus grades of 75.7 in pass-blocking and 78.4 in run-blocking. Meredith didn't give up a single sack and surrendered just nine pressures in 399 pass-blocking snaps. That said, Meredith has played zero regular-season snaps at the position during his three-year career, so center is certainly new to him. Cappa, who once looked like he'd earn a starting role earlier this offseason, was signed to a two-year, $11.01 million deal in free agency. The signing was a bit odd at the time given the fact that he wasn't really an upgrade over anyone the Raiders had vying for a starting guard role. Cappa is coming off a terrible season that saw him give up eight sacks and 51 total pressures while also garnering PFF grades of 39.7 in pass-blocking and 54.9 in run-blocking. If the JPJ-Meredith combo from Thursday's practice holds, the Raiders' starting offensive line from left to right tackle would be Kolton Miller, Dylan Parham, Meredith, JPJ and DJ Glaze.

Ravens 2-Time MVP QB Ranked Best in NFL's Top 100
Ravens 2-Time MVP QB Ranked Best in NFL's Top 100 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has received many accolades since taking over under center in 2018. Two league MVPs, three First-Team All-Pros, four Pro Bowls, an NFL touchdowns leader and passer rating leader are just a few of his accomplishments in the NFL to go along with his 2016 Heisman Trophy win. Most recently, Jackson appeared at the top of Pro Football & Sports Network's top 100 players in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season. No. 1Lamar Jackson | QB | Baltimore Ravens "Despite not winning his third NFL MVP, Jackson's 2024 campaign solidified his place atop PFSN's Top 100. Jackson's command of the Ravens' offense was unmatched, leading the league with a staggering 45 passing touchdowns (including the playoffs) and finishing fifth in passing yards with 4,601," PFSN wrote. "Jackson's growth as a passer stood out, as he ranked first in yards per attempt (8.8) and posted a league-best EPA per dropback of +0.30. He also finished first in our QB+ metric and had a very solid case to be considered the league's MVP. Jackson's season was a masterclass in modern dual-threat quarterbacking. He threw just four interceptions and earned a career-high passer rating of 119.6. His 9.3 average depth of target (fourth in NFL) highlights his willingness to push the ball downfield and challenge defenses vertically, even without elite talent supporting him. "His 915 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns added another layer to his dominance, making him the engine of the Ravens' offense. The only question that remains is whether he and the Ravens can shake off their postseason woes, but that doesn't mean he's not as good as it gets." Jackson joins several teammates on the list in Marlon Humphrey at No. 7, Derrick Henry at No. 24, Kyle Hamilton at No. 35, Roquan Smith at No. 49 and Ndamdi Madubuike at No. 60. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
