Oakland Raiders at Seattle Seahawks: How to watch
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders wrap up their preseason schedule on Thursday night, and here is how you can all of the action on TV and online.
For the Oakland Raiders, this has been a pretty successful preseason, as they have won all three of their games, and have stayed relatively healthy. In fact, their biggest injury came in a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams, as they lost starting right guard Gabe Jackson to an injury.
Since then, it has been smooth sailing for the Silver and Black, who head into the 2019 season with optimism despite the noise outside of the building. Quarterback Derek Carr looks to be slated for a monster season in his second year running Jon Gruden’s offense, as general manager Mike Mayock brought him a bunch of new weapons to play with this offseason.
On Thursday night, the Raiders will wrap up their preseason slate against the Seattle Seahawks, who were a playoff team in 2018. While likely none of the two team’s starters will play on Thursday, it is another good opportunity for some of those bubble players to secure a roster spot heading into Week 1 of the regular season.
There have been plenty of interesting storylines in terms of the roster this summer, as some undrafted free agent rookies look to push some veterans out the door. Thursday night is their last shot, so expect a spirited effort from both teams in this one.
Here is how to catch all of the action on Thursday night.
Date: Thursday, August 29
Time: 7:00 pm. PT
Location: Seattle, Washington
Venue: CenturyLink Field
TV Info: KTVU-2/KICU-36 (Bay Area), KVVU (Las Vegas)
Live Stream: NFL GamePass or Fubo TV
This is the second year in a row that the Raiders and Seahawks will battle it out to finish up a preseason, and last season was quite an exciting game for Raiders fans. The Silver and Black throttled the Seahawks 30-19 behind a monster game from Keon Hatcher, who caught three touchdowns in the victory.
All NFL teams have to get their 90-man roster down to their 53-man roster for the regular season by 1pm PT on Saturday, so it is not like the Raiders front office has a lot of time to discuss this after the Seahawks game. All told, this has been a summer that has been highlighted by the added talent on this roster, as the Raiders look to bounce back from a four-win season in 2018.
