Antonio Pierce has concerns as the Raiders turn their attention to cut-down day

After going 0-2-1 in the preseason, the Las Vegas Raiders now turn their attention to making their roster as good as it can be ahead of the preseason opener

Dylan Laube - Gets start in preseason finaleLaube rushed three times for 12 yards and added one catch on one target for six yards in Friday's preseason tie with the 49ers. He also lost a fumble and returned a kickoff for 24...

ImpactLas Vegas sat most of its starters in the contest, and Laube was thus handed the start. He ripped off a nice eight-yard run on his second carry but ended his day on a sour note, losing a fumble following a six-yard reception late in the first quarter. That Laube suited up Friday while Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Alexander Mattison all sat could be a hint about where he stands in the running-back pecking order. He could see more work in the return game than as a ball carrier in his rookie campaign.

Ricky Pearsall - Could return to practice soonCoach Kyle Shanahan indicated after Friday's preseason finale that he hopes Pearsall (shoulder) will be able to practice this coming week, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

ImpactWhen asked if he thought Pearsall -- who was unavailable for the contest -- would be ready for Week 1 action, Shanahan said "I hope so...We'll see how he is this week. Hoping he gets into practice this week, and if he does, that's a pretty good sign that he could be available for then." The report adds that Shanahan told reporters Friday that Pearsall is dealing with a subluxation (or partial dislocation) of his shoulder, which stems from the wideout's time in college. It's an issue that left Pearsall's shoulder feeling "tender" after a recent aggravation of the issue. The 2024 first-rounder's status gains added import for the 49ers ahead of the regular season, considering the uncertainty surrounding fellow WR Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract situation with the team remains unresolved.

Cameron Latu - Catches all passes FridayLatu had three receptions on as many targets for 42 yards in Friday's preseason finale against Las Vegas.

ImpactLatu appeared in all three of San Francisco's exhibition contests this preseason, finishing with eight receptions (10 targets) for 84 yards. Despite the tight end's healthy debut this offseason, the front office still signed veteran Logan Thomas to enter the mix for snaps behind George Kittle this upcoming campaign. Latu possesses more fantasy upside than his fellow blocking backups, but it sounds like the 2023 third-round selection will have to truly earn his way on the club this season.

Tyreik McAllister - Star of preseason finaleMcAllister caught both of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in Friday's preseason tilt against the 49ers.

ImpactIn addition to his lengthy touchdown reception, McAllister also returned a punt to the house to account for half of his team's points in the exhibition tie. The undrafted sophomore spent most last season bouncing around Denver's practice squad, and he may suffer the same fate trying to land a spot on the Raiders' 2024 roster. If he were to make the 53-man roster, it would likely be in a role on special teams.

Isaac Guerendo - Healthy amount of actionGuerendo (hamstring) rushed 11 times for 32 yards and caught both of his targets for three yards in Friday's preseason tilt against Las Vegas.

ImpactGuerendo returned from a hamstring injury that cost the fourth-round pick two games of action this exhibition season. The Louisville product didn't post gaudy rushing numbers in his 49ers debut, but he had an electric kickoff return of 93 yards that fell just short of pay dirt. Guerendo currently sits behind veteran backups Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason on the depth chart, but the 6-foot, 221-pound rookie has the physical tools to profile as a fantasy prospect should he survive the impending roster cuts ahead the Sep. 27 deadline.
