The Oakland Raiders will play a challenging preseason slate that features back-to-back road games against two NFC playoff teams, including the team that lost in the NFC title game.
1. The Raiders open the preseason at the Arizona Cardinals, who lost to the Carolina Panthers in the 2015 NFC Championship game. The Silver and Black will have to contend with ex-Raiders including quarterback Carson Palmer, tackle Jared Veldheer, and free agent acquisition safety Tyvon Branch.
2. The team from the East Bay will travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers at Lambeau Field for the second time in three years.
