Injuries made Las Vegas very youthful in 2024
The next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders will take over one of the youngest teams that hit the field in 2024.
According to a recent tweet by NFL analyst Bill Barnwell of ESPN, shows that the Raiders were the third youngest team in the league based on total 2024 snap counted and age data.
Here is the full list:

A major reason for this was that the Raiders had several long-0temr injuries that forced several young and inexperienced players in roles they weren’t expected to have.
The Raiders hope to have better injury luck in 2025, but there also very likely be among the youngest teams in the league again.
