The Las Vegas Raiders will open their 2023-24 NFL season on Sunday, September 10, against the Denver Broncos but may be one man short in the person of defensive end Chandler Jones.
All is not well between Jones and the Raiders. The 33-year-old player blasted the Las Vegas Raiders organization earlier this week in social media posts that have since been deleted, Fox News reported.
Among his rants was his inability to access the team's gym. It appears he sent a message complaining to Raiders coach Josh McDaniels about his access to team facilities.

"It's a shame that I am a top athlete with 112 sacks in the NFL and I have to go to a local gym to work out during the season for no apparent reason," his message read. "This is wild to me Josh and you know it, you need to do what's right."
As a result, the four-time Pro Bowler said he does not want to play for the Raiders if he is not allowed into the building and if McDaniels or general manager Dave Ziegler remains at the helm.
The development comes not long after Jones appeared pumped up to play this NFL season for the Raiders.
"Can't wait to play this year! Feelin great in practice! ," Jones posted last September 4.

For his part, McDaniels shared that they are dealing with the Chandler Jones case one day at a time, the Athletic reported.
"It's a personal situation and a private matter," McDaniels said via CBS Sports. "We have dealt with it and I am not going to talk about it."
