The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off of a very disappointing season in which they finished 6-11. However, the path to a fresh rest starts this weekend.

The first preseason game for the Raiders is this weekend, on Sunday, where they will play their former California Bay neighbors.

Here is everything you need to know about the game:

San Francisco 49ers (0-0) at Las Vegas  (0-0)
Date: Sunday, August 13th
Time: 4pm ET
Location: Allegiant Stadium
Betting odds: Raiders +4, 49ers -4
Streaming: NFL Network

Will the Raiders play the starters?

When Josh McDaniels was asked if the starters would play on Sunday, this is what he had to say: “You’ll definitely see them at the stadium,” McDaniels said with a laugh. “They’ll all be there.”

So, we really don't know who will play.

Who will get the majority of the returner snaps?

We thought the Raiders drafted Tre Tucker for help in the return game, but after the first unofficial depth chart release, he wasn't listed. Instead, Deandre Carter and Hunter Renfrow are listed. It will be interesting to see where they go in a live game.

3 players to watch

  • Tre Tucker, WR – The rookie wide receiver has been turning some heads in training camp with his speed and route running. Let's see what he can do in his first-ever NFL action.
  • Zamir White, RB – With Josh Jacobs out, White is sure to be the go-to guy at the position. If he plays, he is a guy you need to watch based on everything we have heard during camp.
  • Jakorian Bennett, CB – Bennett has been wowing the coaching staff. During camp, he has been one of the better cornerbacks on the roster.
