Las Vegas is one of a few teams to hit milestone
The Las Vegas Raiders are three days away from starting the NFL regular season, but they are already winning.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has reported the team is now 100-percent vaccinated against the coronavirus.
FYI: Per source the @Raiders are now 100 percent vaccinated.

Reportedly, the Raiders are the third team to achieve full-vaccination status, joining the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills this week, 93.5 percent of the 2,208 players in the league are vaccinated.
If the Raiders are, indeed, 100 percent vaccinated that would mean linebacker Denzel Perryman and running back Jalen Richard got vaccinated. Both had previously publicly stated their stance against it. After coming to the Raiders in a trade recently, Perryman said he was considering getting the jab.
There are great benefits for players and teams if players are vaccinated. Those players have much more freedom than unvaccinated players. So, having the full team vaxxed, eliminates some obstacles for Jon Gruden’s squad.
Kudos to all.
