This is the live blog for the San Francisco 49ers' road preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.

5:56 San Francisco Chronicle reporter Mike Silver recently mentioned on KNBR that Ricky Pearsall's shoulder injury occurred before the draft and the 49ers knew about it when they took him. Which means the first question at Shanahan's post-game press conference has to be about Pearsall's shoulder, not the game. Forget the game. It doesn't count. Pearsall is the first-round pick and if he misses Week 1, that's a major screw-up. Unfortunately, I didn't make the trip to Las Vegas because it's preseason. Hopefully one of my colleagues will ask the essential question.

6:00 Brandon Aiyuk is with the 49ers at the game according to The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Aiyuk is on the sideline before the game wearing a black sweat suit with no 49ers logos. Interesting. Maybe the 49ers and Aiyuk are getting close to finalizing an extension. Or maybe not. I don't know.

6:03 The starters are supposed to play tonight, so let's see if Brock Purdy can lead a touchdown drive. He couldn't in three attempts last week, but he was playing mostly with backups. This week, he should perform much better. But will the run defense perform well? Or is that still an issue? We haven't seen Leonard Floyd and Maliek Collins play in the 49ers defense yet. Tonight will be their first action.

FIRST QUARTER

7:08 The 49ers receive the opening kickoff. Isaac Guerendo returns the kickoff 29 yards to the 49ers 32. The 49ers are playing their starters and the Raiders are playing their backups.

7:14 On 3rd and 15 from the Raiders 31, Brock Purdy's pass gets tipped at the line of scrimamge and falls incomplete. Then Jake Moody makes a 47-yard field goal. The first play of the drive was a 27-yard pass to Deebo Samuel who caught the ball above his head after running a stutter-go. The worst play of the drive was a Jordan Mason run for a five-yard loss after Brayen Willis and Nick Zakelj got blown up in the backfield.

49ers 3, Raiders 0.

7:20 On 3rd and 2 from the Raiders 39, Leonard Floyd tackles Nathan Peterman after a one-yard scramble and the Raiders go three and out. After the punt and an 8-yard return by Jacob Cowing, the 49ers take over at their 15.

7:31 On 2nd and goal from the 4, Jordan Mason powers his way into the end zone for a touchdown. He rushed four times for 30 yards on that drive. He's good enough to be a starter. Brock Purdy is 6 of 8 for 69 yards. Time to sit him for the night.

49ers 10, Raiders 0.

7:41 Leonard Floyd leaves the game with what appears to be a knee injury. On the next play, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles forces a fumble and Robert Beal Jr. recovers it.

SECOND QUARTER

7:50 On 3rd and 6 from the Raiders 16, Deebo Samuel runs a slant, Purdy throws a high pass, Samuel reaches up for it and tips it to a Raiders defensive back and picks it off. Remember, the Raiders are playing their third-stringers. Samuel wasn't open. The cornerback broke up the pass.

7:54 On 3rd and 3 from the Raiders 43, Rock Ya-Sin breaks up a pass over the middle and the Raiders go three-and-out.

7:59 On 3rd and 2 from the 49ers 26, Brandon Allen checks down to Isaac Guerendo for 2 yards. Then Pressley Harvin punts and the Raiders return it for a touchdown. Harvin outkicked his coverage.

49ers 10, Raiders 7.

8:04 Isaac Guerendo returns the kickoff 93 yards to the Riaders 4-yard line.

8:06 On 2nd and goal from the 3, Patrick Taylor spins into the end zone for a touchdown.

49ers 17, Raiders 7.

8:12 On 3rd and 8 from the Raiders 36, Nathan Peterman throws an incomplete pass to a receiver who's covered by Renardo Green, and the Raiders punt.

8:19 On 3rd and 12 from the 49ers 40, Brandon Allen takes his second sack of the drive, and the 49ers punt.

8:30 On 1st and goal from the 3, Nathan Peterman throws a touchdown pass to Kristian Wilkerson.

49ers 17, Raiders 14.

THIRD QUARTER

8:52 On 1st and 10 from the 49ers 35, Samuel Womack gives up a touchdown catch to Tyreik McAllister. Womack isn't making this team.

49ers 17, Raiders 21.

8:59 On 3rd and 9 from the 49ers 48, Allen throws the ball away. He has a nice arm but he's painfully slow.

9:04 On 3rd and 5 from the Raiders 18, Carter Bradley throws behind Ramel Keyton, and the Raiders go three and out.

9:15 On 3rd and goal from the 10, Dobbs throws a touchdown pass to Jacob Cowing. Beautiful throw. He's much better than Brandon Allen. And Cowing is a real player.

49ers 24, Raiders 21.

9:23 On 3rd and 20 from the Raiders 40, Sincere McCormick runs for 10 yards and the Raiders punt.

FOURTH QUARTER

9:29 On third and 13 from the 49ers 17, Joshua Dobbs completes a short pass to Tay Martin who fumbles and the Raiders recover.

9:34 On 4th and goal from the 2, Darrell Luter Jr. intercepts a pass in the end zone. He should make the 53-man roster.

9:41 On 3rd and 5 from the Raiders 48, Dobbs sails a pass over Ronnie Bell and the 49ers punt.

9:47 On 3rd and 8 from the Raiders 14, Evan Anderson pressures Carter Bradley who throws incomplete.

10:03 On 4th and 5 from the Raiders 11, Mordecai throws an incomplete pass in the end zone intended for Mason Pline. The Raiders take over on downs.

10:10 The Raiders make a 43-yard field goal to tie the game with 16 seconds left.

49ers 24, Raiders 24.
