LAS VEGAS, Nevada |A| – The San Francisco |B| 49ers will wrap up |C| NFL preseason play with |D| a matchup against the |E| Las Vegas Raiders today |F| – Friday, Aug. 23 |G| – at Allegiant Stadium |H| in Las Vegas, Nevada. |J| This game is available |K| on multiple streaming services |L| for free.
The game |M| will broadcast live on |O| NFL Network at 10 |P| p.m. Eastern. (7 p.m. |Q| Pacific) Fans who have |R| cut the cord can |S| watch the game for |U| free via Fubo or |V| DirecTV Stream, which both |Y| offer free trials.

The |E| five-time Super Bowl champion |F| 49ers (1-1) are fine-tuning |G| their lineup as they |H| seek their first Vince |J| Lombardi Trophy since 1994. |K| San Francisco made it |L| to the finale last |M| year before falling short |O| in a thriller to |P| the Kansas City Chiefs.
|Q| dir="ltr">Much like their identity, |R| the 49ers preseason has |S| been a defensive showing, |U| grabbing a 16-10 win |V| against the New Orleans |Y| Saints and suffering a |Z| 17-13 loss to the |A| Tennessee Titans. San Francisco |B| has found some strength |C| in their playmaking reserves, |D| including at running back |E| and receiver.
The 49ers |F| are planning on playing |G| some of their starters, |H| including quarterback Brock Purdy. |J| He will likely be |K| limited to a quarter |L| of football. Purdy played |M| with a choppy offensive |O| line last game against |P| the Saints, drawing some |Q| criticism. He went 2-of-6 |R| in the first quarter. |S| The goal is simply |U| more reps.
Keep an |V| eye on the backup |Y| quarterback battle between Josh |Z| Dobbs and Brandon Allen. |A| Dobbs caught everyones attention |B| with a nifty move |C| to run in for |D| the score in the |E| final seconds of the |F| first half last week. |G| Plays like that go |H| a long way in |J| determining the pecking order.
|K| dir="ltr">Among multiple other missing |L| starters, and with trade |M| speculation continuing to swirl, |O| Brandon Aiyuk most likely |P| will sit this one |Q| out. Once linked to |R| the Cleveland Browns, Steelers |S| and others, he continues |U| to wait and find |V| out his fate. Star |Y| running back Christian McCaffrey |Z| is out with a |A| calf injury.
On special |B| teams, kicker Jake Moody |C| missed a field goal |D| last week. He will |E| look to shore up |F| those troubles in the |G| preseason finale.

The Raiders |K| (0-2) will be guided |L| by first-year head coach |M| Antonio Pierce as they |O| continue to try and |P| restore the franchise back |Q| to prominence. Las Vegas |R| is currently in the |S| middle of a two-year |U| playoff drought.
The Raiders |V| came up short against |Y| the Minnesota Vikings 24-23 |Z| and were trounced by |A| the Dallas Cowboys in |B| the following matchup, 27-12.
|C| dir="ltr">Journeyman Gardner Minshew has |D| been named the starter |E| for the black and |F| silver after beating out |G| Aidan OConnell for the |H| role. But the backup |J| will get his chance |K| to shine as Pierce |L| has confirmed the starters |M| will sit out the |O| final preseason game. Reserve |P| QB Carter Bradley is |Q| also expected to grab |R| some playing time.
After |S| some preseason hype, its |U| the last chance for |V| running back Dylan Laube, |Y| a sixth-round selection, to |Z| make a statement and |A| earn some playing time.
|B| dir="ltr">Star wide receiver Devonte |C| Adams will miss the |D| game, setting up an |E| intriguing display of receiver |F| depth, including from rising |G| talent DJ Turner. He |H| presents a ton of |J| matchup capability and figures |K| to be a game |L| wrecker in special teams, |M| if given the chance.
|O| dir="ltr">Jalen Guyton has underperformed |P| while dealing with injuries |Q| in camp and a |R| slow return to preseason. |S| Will one last shot |U| be crucial in earning |V| his spot on the |Y| field?
In his opportunities, |Z| defensive tackle Jade Silvera |A| has bested Byron Young. |B| If that trend continues, |C| its feasible he could |D| eat up his snaps, |E| and overtake his role |F| on the depth chart. |G| This will be a |H| perfect opportunity to continue |J| the momentum.
