LIVE UPDATES: Raiders look for 2-0 start when they face Chargers

LIVE UPDATES: Raiders look for 2‑0 start when they face Chargers The Las Vegas Raiders aim to open the season 2‑0 for the first time since 2021 as they travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Las Vegas comes off a 27‑13 victory over the Miami Dolphins, during which running back Ashton Jeanty accumulated 147 total yards and scored two receiving touchdowns on passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Los Angeles seeks to rebound from a surprising 26‑14 home defeat to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. Las Vegas may be without starting tight end Brock Bowers for a second straight week while he recovers from a knee injury; he is listed as doubtful and is expected to undergo a pregame workout that could make him a game‑time decision. Quarterback Aidan O’Connell will not suit up for the contest. Rookie Fernando Mendoza will again serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Cousins. O’Connell, who acted as the emergency No. 3 quarterback last week, missed the final two practices of the week for personal reasons and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out on Saturday. The Raiders have also elevated tight end Chris Myarick and wide receiver Cody White from the practice squad— the same two players activated for the Miami game. White recorded a touchdown‑saving tackle on a kickoff return and earned praise from his coaches. Myarick adds depth should Bowers remain unavailable while he continues to recover from a knee procedure performed last week. — Adam Hill **Last meeting** Nov. 30, 2025 – Kimani Vidal rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown, helping the Chargers to a 31‑14 victory en route to a playoff berth. It marked the sixth of ten consecutive losses suffered by the Raiders last season. Geno Smith completed 18 of 23 passes for 165 yards, threw two touchdowns, was intercepted once and sacked five times. Brock Bowers caught four passes for 63 yards and scored two touchdowns. Las Vegas managed just 31 yards on 18 rushing attempts. — Adam Hill **Raiders vs. Chargers channel, TV schedule** Kickoff: 1:05 p.m. Location: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California TV: Fox CBS (Andrew Catalon, play‑by‑play; Logan Ryan, analyst; AJ Ross, sidelines) Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+ Radio: KRLV‑AM (920), KOMP‑FM (92.3) (Jason Horowitz, play‑by‑play; Kirk Morrison, analyst) **Raiders vs. Chargers odds** Spread: Chargers 6½ Over/under: 43½ points Moneyline: Raiders (+245), Chargers (‑310) Odds are supplied by Caesars sportsbook as of Sunday morning. **Raiders schedule 2026** Week 1: W, 27‑13 vs. Miami Dolphins Week 2, Sunday: at Los Angeles Chargers, 1:05 p.m., CBS Week 3, Sept. 27: at New Orleans Saints, 1:25 p.m., CBS Week 4, Oct. 4: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1:25 p.m., CBS Week 5, Oct. 11: at New England Patriots, 10:00 a.m., CBS Week 6, Oct. 18: vs. Buffalo Bills, 1:25 p.m., CBS Week 7, Oct. 25: vs. Los Angeles Rams, 1:25 p.m., Fox Week 8, Nov. 1: at New York Jets, 10:00 a.m., Fox Week 9, Nov. 8: at San Francisco 49ers, 1:05 p.m., CBS Week 10, Nov. 15: vs. Seattle Seahawks, 1:05 p.m., CBS Week 11, Nov. 22: at Denver Broncos, 1:25 p.m., CBS Week 12, Nov. 29: at Cleveland Browns, 10:00 a.m., Fox Week 13, Dec. 6: Bye Week 14, Dec. 13: vs. Los Angeles Chargers, 1:05 p.m., CBS Week 15, Dec. 20: vs. Denver Broncos, 1:25 p.m., CBS Week 16, Dec. 27: vs. Tennessee Titans, 1:05 p.m., Fox Week 17, Jan. 3: at Arizona Cardinals, 1:05 p.m., Fox Week 18, Jan. 9 or Jan. 10: at Kansas City Chiefs, time and network TBD This is a developing story.
