For a lot of the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookies, this Sunday will be the last time they get to put on the Silver and Black uniform. The NFL’s final cutdown day is on Tuesday where every team will have to trim its roster by 27 players, meaning this weekend is the last chance for anyone on the bubble to prove their worth.
Even for the first-year players that are in no danger of losing their spot, this last preseason game is extremely important. It’s their final opportunity to get adjusted to NFL game speed and make mistakes before the games start counting and the miscues are magnified.
