Antonio Pierce Provides Updates Against of Raiders' Third Preseason Game

The Las Vegas Raiders are currently 0-2 in preseason action. They lost 24-23 in a road affair to the Minnesota Vikings , and followed that up with a 27-12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys .

They'll try to avoid going winless through all three preseason games, with their final matchup against the San Francisco 49ers taking place at Allegiant Stadium on Friday night.

Now, since this is the final preseason game before the regular season begins in a little over two weeks, we likely won't see many starters on the field during this affair.

Since both teams have to trim their rosters down significantly following the game, most third and fourth-stringers will be getting action.

However, the quarterback situation did seem a little cloudy for the Raiders this week. On Sunday, Antonio Pierce named Gardner Minshew the starting quarterback , and also explained that Minshew wouldn't play in Friday's game.

However, whether Aidan O'Connell would get any action was up in the air. On Wednesday night, Pierce gave us a bit of clarification:

With O'Connell out of the mix on Friday, that left the rest of the playing time between Carter Bradley, and Nathan Peterman, who was signed about a week and a half ago . Pierce stated that Bradley will be getting the first look this week:

With Bradley getting the first half, we can presume Peterman will get the second half of action.

It's unlikely the Raiders keep both Bradley and Peterman on the 53-man roster, so there's a good chance these two are essentially playing for the third and final quarterback spot on the team.
