The Las Vegas Raiders have wrapped up camp in Costa Mesa, and now, it's time to turn their attention to the Minnesota Vikings, whom they will face in their first preseason game on Saturday.

These two teams last met last season when the Raiders fell 3-0 in embarrassing, low-scoring fashion. Much has changed for both teams since then, and each squad has several players it will be watching closely as they prepare to narrow down their 53-man rosters.

Saturday's game will be crucial for the Raiders' quarterback battle. It remains to be seen how the reps are distributed between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner minshew II, but each should have a fair opportunity.

"[B]oth quarterbacks want to play a legit quarter," said Raiders coach Antonio Pierce earlier this week. "Who goes out first and who goes out second really doesn't matter. Get hopefully an equal amount of snaps and opportunities to showcase."

Saturday will serve as a reunion for Raiders running back Alexander Mattison, who before joining the Silver and Black this offseason, spent his first five NFL seasons in Minnesota.

After Saturday's contest, the Raiders will return to Las Vegas for a home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 17. They will remain home afterward to conclude their preseason with a game against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, Aug. 23.
