Previewing The Raiders' First Preseason Game Against the Minnesota Vikings

On Saturday night, the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Minnesota Vikings for their first preseason action of the year.

The game will take place on Saturday, August 10th at 4:00 PM ET, but it will be 1:00 PM on the West Coast where most Raider fans reside. As a fan, you can watch the game on NFL Network, and in Las Vegas the game will be televised on Fox 5.

The game can also be streamed on Raiders.com, as well as the Raiders app, although both of those options have their geography restrictions. On the radio, the game will be available on KOMP 92.3 and KRLV 920. Spanish radio versions are also available on the Raiders app and Raiders.com.

Now, as it's a preseason game, you shouldn't expect too many starters to play. Guys like Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and potentially some of the starting offensive linemen might sit out on the offensive side of the ball. However, young guys like Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer might get some playing time.

Since the team is still in the midst of a quarterback battle , it's likely that both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew will get some action. This is likely the biggest storyline for the Raiders ahead of the game.

On the defensive side of the ball, sure-fire starters like Maxx Crosby, Christian Wilkins, Robert Spillane, Divine Deablo, Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs likely won't play much.

However, there are a couple of depth players who will be looking to make an impact. Watch out for guys like Tyree Wilson, Byron Young and Jakorian Bennet, all as young players who are looking to make more of an impact in their second year.
