Updates on Jaguars-Raiders preseason opener

The NFL returned on Thursday with its annual Hall of Fame Game to open the league’s 2022 preseason, with the rising Las Vegas Raiders and rebuilding Jacksonville Jaguars meeting in Canton, Ohio.

Here’s everything you need to know about the closest thing resembling an NFL game we’ve seen since Super Bowl LVI.

Jaguars rule out nearly every starter vs. Raiders

Let’s just say the Jaguars team suiting up on Thursday is a little different than the one that will be suiting up for Week 1.

The Jaguars have reportedly ruled out nearly every veteran starter on the team, as well as notable names like quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back James Robinson and running back Travis Etienne Jr. The most notable name reportedly available will be 2022 first overall pick Travon Walker.
