After a joint practice with the Houston Texans, the Silver and Black face the team again this Thursday.
This is the second ever preseason contest between the Raiders and Texans, with Houston winning, 19-17, against the Raiders on Aug. 20, 2005.
Thursday's game is set to kick off at 5 p.m. PT from Reliant Stadium. Here's what you need to know.
Opponent profile
The Texans dropped their preseason opener to the Chargers, losing 27‑7, and head into Thursday's matchup expected to once again rest most of their starters.
Texans Head Coach DeMeco Ryans told Houston reporters that he felt Tuesday's joint practice gave his first-team players all the reps they needed and with that box checked, the Texans will lean on depth pieces to carry the load in the actual game.
Raiders updates
When asked if Raiders starters will play Thursday, Coach Klint Kubiak simply replied, "We'll see."
Jackson Powers-Johnson left Monday's practice early with injury and was seen in street clothes on the sideline during joint practice. Per Kubiak, Powers-Johnson is not expected to be available to play Thursday.
"He got banged up in practice yesterday," the head coach said. "We wanted to be cautious today, and we got to keep evaluating him moving forward."
