Raiders' Jarrett Stidham: Locked in as primary backup

Stidham is set to be the backup quarterback with Las Vegas this season, Marcus Mosher of USA Today reports.

Stidham will operate as Derek Carr's backup in 2022 after Nick Mullens was traded to the Vikings on Monday. Head coach Josh McDaniels prefers keeping just two quarterbacks on the active roster, which, when combined with Stidham's strong preseason performance thus far, helped lock him into the No. 2 role.
