Live updates: Raiders vs. Seahawks in preseason, Thursday night

Follow the action from Seattle's Century Link Field on Thursday night at 7 when the Raiders try to finish off the preseason with a perfect record.

Here’s where you’ll get live scoring updates, news and analysis from the Raiders’ final preseason game when they take on the Seahawks in Seattle on Thursday at 7 p.m.

More importantly than trying to finish off the preseason undefeated, the Raiders (4-0) hope to use Thursday’s game to help determine which players will make their final 53-man roster, which needs to be set by Saturday. There are a number of position battles going on, mostly involving backups, but there are at least 37 players on their team who won’t be with them for long.

Don’t expect to see many familiar players for either the Raiders or Seahawks as teams rarely play any starters in the last preseason game.

Still, it will be interesting to see if both of the Raiders’ backup quarterback hopefuls — Nathan Peterman and Mike Glennon — play well enough to earn jobs. Peterman, in particular, played well in the Raiders’ 22-21 victory in Winnipeg last Thursday.

As for the Seahawks (2-1), Thursday’s game will offer another opportunity for backup quarterback Geno Smith to get in a lot of action. He went 11-of-18 for 117 yards in last Saturday’s 23-15 win over the Chargers. Most of his action, however, was while handing the ball off as Seattle rushed 42 times for 185 yards against L.A.

After Thursday’s game, the Raiders will figure out their roster for the season opener at the Coliseum on Monday, Sept. 9 against the Broncos.
