Raiders football is back.
Friday’s preseason opener against the Lions may not feature many regular starters, but do Oakland fans really care as long as Jon Gruden is roaming the Coliseum sidelines again?
“They’re all the same to me and Raider fans,” Gruden said. “You got to understand that preseason games, postseason games, pick-up games in Oakland, it’s all the same.”
The Raiders and Lions kick off at 7:30 p.m. PST, and the game can be seen nationally on NFL Network and locally on KTVU. You can listen to the game on KCBS-740 AM.
Here are five things you’ll want to watch as actual football returns to Oakland on Friday night.
