Training camp is winding down, and the Las Vegas Raiders have their second of three preseason games tonight against the Houston Texans. The 53-man roster and the regular season are right around the corner, adding some intensity to the battles for starting and roster spots.
The Raiders have several pressing questions heading into the final stretch of preseason games. One of the biggest concerns is the team's depth at wide receiver. With several key players dealing with injuries, the team's receiving corps is looking thin. The Raiders will need to get some contributions from their younger players to fill the void.
The team's defensive line is also a concern. The Raiders have a number of talented pass rushers, but they've struggled to get consistent pressure on the quarterback. The team will need to find a way to get their defensive line to step up if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs.
The Raiders' quarterback situation is also a topic of discussion. While Derek Carr is the clear starter, the team is looking for a backup to take over in case he gets injured. The team has a number of young quarterbacks vying for the job, but none have yet to separate themselves from the pack.
The Raiders will need to make some tough decisions in the coming days as they trim their roster to 53 players. The team will have to decide which players to keep and which to release, and it's not always an easy decision.
The Raiders will face off against the Houston Texans tonight in their second preseason game. The team will look to build on their performance from last week's game, where they came away with a 20-17 victory.
