The Oakland Raiders head on the road and match up with the Arizona Cardinals in the second game of the preseason. Here are three things to look out for Thursday night.

Despite most of the starters not seeing the field last Saturday night, the Oakland Raiders came away with a solid victory in their first preseason game, which also happened to be the last ever at the Coliseum. From here on out, the Raiders will travel for the remainder of the preseason, and that begins Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

Though the preseason provides little sample size in terms of significance, there were plenty of positives to take away from last week’s matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. With no starters on the field, we saw flashes of potential from the likes of Arden Key and potential breakout players such as Alec Ingold.

Now in Week 2 of the preseason, will we see any of the starters see some action against Arizona? Can the players that turned heads last Saturday replicate the same come Thursday night? Will Thursday night’s outcome help shed light on the strengths and also the weaker units?
