It’s almost the weekend. Welcome to the Black Hole Roll Call. The Oakland Raiders will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys in their third preseason game on Saturday evening. It will be a nationally televised event, as it should be one of the better dress rehearsal games in preseason Week 3.
Seventh-round safety Shalom Luani has made a fine first impression with the Raiders in their defensive backfield. He might be the next impact player to come out of his Pac-12 alma mater in Washington State University.
Offensive coordinator Todd Downing saw his offense start to take flight in the second preseason game loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week.
