Raiders Say Jermod McCoy Is On Track to Compete in Training Camp

Conservative rehab is designed to get McCoy on the field while an unresolved bone‑plug cartilage repair still carries the risk of surgery and a long recovery.

Overview

  • Raiders coach Klint Kubiak told reporters he expects McCoy to practice and compete when training camp opens.
  • Beat reporter Vincent Bonsignore wrote that McCoy is on schedule to be a full participant and that there are no new knee issues.
  • The team has limited McCoy’s work in OTAs under a medical management plan, which explains his sporadic on‑field appearances this spring.
  • McCoy missed the 2025 season after a torn ACL and slid to the fourth round because of concerns about a bone‑plug used to repair a cartilage defect in his knee.
  • If McCoy avoids surgery he could provide immediate playmaking depth and compete for a No. 2 corner role, but replacement surgery for the bone plug could cost at least a year or, in the worst case, end his career.
