Oakland Raiders: 3 players to watch Thursday vs Seahawks
There is one preseason game remaining for the 2019 Oakland Raiders, and for these three players, it is all-or-nothing time to make the regular season roster.
We have finally reached the end of the line for the 2019 NFL preseason for the Oakland Raiders, as the regular season is less than two weeks away. Just one last game against the Seattle Seahawks, then we can turn our attention to Monday Night Football in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.
Until then, there is still a game to be played, and a crucial one at that for some of these players on the bubble. Heading into the fourth and final preseason game, the Raiders coaches already have an idea on who they are keeping and who they are cutting.
Still, one strong performance is all it takes to sway the minds of Jon Gruden and his staff. It at least makes the decision a very difficult one. There might even be four or five undrafted free agents that make this roster.
It just goes to show the real grit of these players, as well as the good eye that Gruden and Mike Mayock have for players.
The Oakland Raiders have a chance to finish the preseason undefeated at 4-0. Surely Gruden will use that factor alone to fuel his players in order to get the best out of them. It’s a smart motivational tactic since there are three players who need a strong performance.
So with all that said here are three players to watch for on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks.
