The Las Vegas Raiders released their first unofficial depth chart of the 2026 season on Aug. 10 ahead of a preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. The roster reveals key competitions at cornerback and defensive tackle, while shifting roles for several offensive linemen as the team prepares for Thursday’s game.
The Raiders are set to take the field for the first time this season this Thursday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While the team’s first unofficial depth chart was released as of Aug. 10, the organization noted that these listings are fluid and subject to change.
Offensive Line Shifts and Receiver Depth
Recent practice trends have influenced several placements on the offensive line. Caleb Rogers is currently listed as the backup left guard, though he has recently spent time at right guard sharing reps with Jackson Powers-Johnson.
Trey Zuhn III has also seen a position shift. After beginning training camp as the third team right guard and second team center, Zuhn III is now listed as the backup right tackle.
At the receiver position, Malik Benson has earned a spot as the next man up on the depth chart. He is listed alongside veterans Dareke Young and Dont’e Thornton.
Defensive Battles: Cornerback and Tackle
The secondary features an open competition for the starting outside cornerback role. While Darien Porter holds the first-team spot on the chart, he is competing with Decamerion Richardson and rookies Hezekiah Masses and Jermod McCoy.
In the defensive interior, Adam Butler remains the incumbent starter at defensive tackle. However, he has been rotating frequently with Thomas Booker and Jonah Laulu, while Tonka Hemingway has maintained a steady presence with the first team.
The safety position shows Isaiah Pola-Mao as the starter, with Treydan Stukes listed as the primary backup. Stukes has also seen time at the nickel corner spot, a position currently led by Taron Johnson.
Preseason Opener Logistics
The Raiders face the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. The game kicks off at 5 p.m. PT and will be available via the Raiders app, Raiders.com, and locally on FOX-5.
