Vegas Sports Digest

Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker face a stern Week 1 test containing De’Von Achane’s home-run runs and Malik Willis’ dual-threat scrambles.

• Dean’s edge: Elite run instincts and QB-spy blitzing can neutralize Willis’ legs after the Dolphins added him to maximize read options.
• Walker’s role: Strong tackling and improving run stops must limit Achane, but coverage lapses could expose the backfield receiver threat.
• Game impact: Winning these matchups gives Las Vegas the early edge in a winnable home opener.
