Jimmy Garoppolo working on chemistry with Raiders’ receivers with Meyers in concussion protocol

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:37:39 GMT

With Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain sticking to Davante Adams throughout Sunday’s meeting with the Raiders, Jakobi Meyers kept getting open and Jimmy Garoppolo kept finding him.That connection between two of the newest Raiders was critical in Las Vegas opening its season with a 17-16 victory. Garoppolo threw 10 passes Meyers’ way, and he caught nine for 81 yards and two touchdowns.Now Garoppolo might have to look elsewhere when the Raiders play at Buffalo on Sunday because Meyers is in the concussion protocol. That could mean more than nine targets Adams received at Denver and certainly more than the zero Hunter Renfrow and rookie tight end Michael Mayer had.Garoppolo is working with his receivers this week at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Raiders are there to acclimate to the Eastern time zone before playing the Bills.“They all pull for each other,” Garoppolo said. “It’s even in the run game and you see those guys crack-bl...

He allowed two sacks and the right side, which includes tackle Evan Neal, allowed a total of five sacks. “It was very disappointing. All I can do is move on from that and be better,” Glowinski said Wednesday.Glowinski stood in front of his locker after practice for more than 10 minutes fielding questions from two waves of reporters.Glowinski said most of the mistakes were physical and mental miscues that can...

He’s done it since he’s been a Tampa Bay Ray,” manager Kevin Cash said. “Hopefully that provides him a little bit of a jolt and it continues now the rest of the way.”The Rays (90-57), who entered three games behind the Orioles in the division race, reached 90 wins for the ninth time in their last 15 full seasons. Tampa Bay starts a four-game series on Thursday at Baltimore, which hosts St. Louis later ...
