The Oakland Raiders will look for their second win of the preseason on Thursday, and here are three key players to keep an eye on against the Arizona Cardinals.

After weeks of training camp, the Raiders got their first look at live action last Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. In last weeks action, the coaching staff got an extensive look at which players could serve as quality reserves behind the starters.

In the second preseason game, some of the starters will get their feet wet, playing in a couple of series. Gruden said he expects Carr to play a little against Arizona on Thursday. Despite the starters seeing some playing time, the majority of play will remain with the backups taking most of the reps.

Every game players are elevating their stock, versus some players are inflating theirs. Here are three Oakland Raiders to keep an eye on for Thursday’s game.
