Japanese kicker Kansei Matsuzawa made his mark for the Las Vegas Raiders in a 22-20 preseason win over the Houston Texans on Thursday (local time).
The milestone is a memorable one for the Japan-born player in his quest to make the NFL, as he recorded his first points in a Raiders uniform during the preseason.
Matsuzawa, who was born in Japan, delivered a steady performance against the Texans, helping Las Vegas secure the overall victory. The achievement is expected to bolster his case for a spot on the final roster ahead of the new season.
The Raiders are currently finalizing their roster for the upcoming campaign, and Matsuzawa's showing will serve as a positive signal for the coaching staff as they evaluate the abilities of new players.
