Summary
Thursday's Raiders-Texans preseason game could feature limited first-team action after coach Klint Kubiak said only, "We'll see," when asked whether starters will play.
Last week, Las Vegas used its starters briefly in a scripted touchdown drive, with Kirk Cousins, Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers logging only a handful of snaps.
Houston's joint practices already are giving the Raiders substantial work against a playoff-caliber roster, reducing the need to expose key players to injury in a preseason game.
Some Raiders still may play because roster and position battles remain unsettled, leaving Kubiak flexibility ahead of the team's second exhibition.
