Raiders vs 49ers team news
Las Vegas Raiders team news
Gardner Minshew has been named the starting quarterback for the season, as confirmed shortly after their second preseason game. Minshew has completed 16 of 33 passes over the two preseason games, amassing 212 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. His main competition for the starting role, Aidan O'Connell, has gone 21 of 29 for 172 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
The quarterback battle is likely to continue in this upcoming game, with both expected to see significant playing time. Anthony Brown Jr. might also get some snaps, though he's primarily competing for a backup spot on the roster.
In the running back department, Zamir White is currently leading the charge to be the Raiders' starter, having played in both preseason games, totaling 46 yards on 10 carries with a touchdown. Alexander Mattison, who joined from the Vikings, is also in contention for the top spot and is expected to play in this game.
All of the Raiders' starters have seen action in the preseason except for Davante Adams, who missed some of training camp for the birth of his son and did not dress for the second game. Wide receivers Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker are slated to play in this matchup.
San Francisco 49ers team news
Brock Purdy is anticipated to see some playing time this week, though the involvement of his key offensive players remains uncertain. Once Purdy steps out, the 49ers have another seasoned quarterback in Joshua Dobbs ready to take over. Dobbs has accumulated 279 passing yards across the two preseason games but has yet to find the end zone and has thrown one interception. Brandon Allen and Tanner Mordecai are also expected to get some snaps in this game.
It's unlikely that San Francisco's first-round pick, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, will participate, as he continues to recover from a minor shoulder injury. Christian McCaffrey is sidelined with a calf issue, so the 49ers have been rotating their running backs, with Matt Breida likely to get the most carries this time. Last week, the standout receiver was rookie Jacob Cowing from Arizona, who hauled in four catches for 51 yards against the Saints.
