The Las Vegas Raiders are approaching their first preseason game of the season. They will be home vs. the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and we will finally get action on the field. how much of the starters we will see remains to be seen, but it will be on-field action nonetheless.
That is where joint practices come into play, where teams can simulate games. It allows their starters to get reps against another football team and face different looks from the offense and defense. It will also be a litmus test, displaying if the Raiders are ready to compete with the best teams in the league.
