The Las Vegas Raiders put together another inconsistent showing against the San Francisco 49ers in their second preseason game ahead of the 2025 NFL season. While the team certainly improved, they left plenty to be desired in their narrow 22-19 loss.
Head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek will likely continue to make adjustments to the roster throughout the season, but after the second preseason tilt, we updated our 53-man roster prediction for the Raiders, which includes cutting a handful of fan favorites.
Raiders' 53-man roster prediction after first preseason game
Quarterback (3): Geno Smith, Aidan O'Connell, Cam Miller
O'Connell did not necessarily play well enough to solidify himself as the backup; it was more that Miller regressed a bit in Week 2 of the preseason.
