OAKLAND – The Raiders didn’t run a standard NFL dress rehearsal Friday during their third preseason game.
Fans hoping to see offensive stars shouldn't have blinked. Head coach Jon Gruden pulled quarterback Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson, and running back Marshawn Lynch after one series against the Green Bay Packers. The rest of the regular offense didn’t last much longer.
Select defenders played through the first half, but not everybody. The Green Bay Packers pulled punches, sitting quarterback Aaron Rodgers among a host of others.
The Raiders won 13-6 at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, by the way.
