ALAMEDA — The scene shifted from the Napa Valley Marriott to the team facility Monday, and with it came a difference in approach as the Raiders prepare for their third preseason game.

The Raiders host the Green Bay Packers at the Coliseum Friday at 7:30 p.m., and unlike their Week 2 19-15 loss to the St. Louis Rams, some first-team players can expect their heaviest game-action of the exhibition season.

“We’re going to look at Green Bay and try and put our team on a Wednesday schedule during the regular season,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said.
