Though the preseason can be tough to watch at times, here are three members of the Las Vegas Raiders to keep an eye on over the next month.

The NFL preseason is now officially underway, as the Las Vegas Raiders will be making their 2021 preseason debut this Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. Not only will this be their first preseason game, but the first game to be played in front of fans inside Allegiant Stadium

The significance of this game has quite a few points to delve into, as not only are fans able to see their hometown Raiders for the first time in their new Vegas backdrop, but the Raiders will be looking to tinker with some of their newly acquired players. This is the first step in the process of trying to figure out just how the 2021 roster will shape up before the season opener in September against the Baltimore Ravens.

Training camp has given us a brief intro into how this roster is being constructed, and with the first unofficial depth chart just released, we have somewhat of an idea of just how head coach Jon Gruden is looking to set this roster ablaze on the rest of the league. Remember, this is an unofficial depth chart, and things are certain to change, but for now, it has brought some interesting questions to the forefront.

With the preseason now upon us, we have a few players that Raiders fans should keep an eye on, and we look at five of them here.
