Preseason Preview: Raiders close out the preseason against the 49ers

The Silver and Black are back home to host the preseason finale against the San Francisco 49ers.

This is the fourth consecutive year in which the Raiders and 49ers have faced each other in the preseason and 44th all-time preseason matchup between the two. San Francisco holds a 22-20-1 preseason series record against the Raiders.

Thursday's game is set to kick off at 5 p.m. PT from Allegiant Stadium Here's what you need to know.

Opponent profile

The 49ers are 1-1 this preseason – a 19-13 loss to the Titans and a 41-17 win over the Chargers last Thursday.

Head Coach Kyle Shanahan does not expect to play his starters in the finale, especially with the Niners' first regular-season game taking place in Australia.

"I don't think you'll see many starters," Shanahan said in a Tuesday press conference. "We just don't have enough time as we usually do, so I'll be surprised if any of them are out there. There might be a couple, but it will be closer to how [Preseason] Week 1 was."

Raiders updates

Ashton Jeanty left practice Sunday and was helped off the field by trainers after landing awkwardly trying to dive for a pass. Head Coach Klint Kubiak said Tuesday that the running back is "on the mend," but didn't elaborate further as he did not want to discuss any injuries in detail.

Transactions

The Raiders released WR Noah Brown on Monday.

On Sunday, Aug. 30, teams must reduce their active rosters to a maximum of 53 players by 3 p.m. PT. This is just an initial roster; changes are expected weekly – if not daily – as players are constantly being evaluated. Click here to learn more.
