Where to Watch, Stream Texans vs. Raiders Preseason Game

So now, both of the Raiders and Texans will continue their work with one another from earlier this week in a preseason game, where each side will be searching to bounce back after last week's loss.

Houston has already announced that they'll be resting starters for the night, leaving the game likely to look a little similar to their previous game against the Chargers when it comes to who's on the field and who's not. But even while a little shorthanded, many storylines still remain relevant.

Let's sort through what storylines you'll need to keep watch of for the Texans as their preseason continues with another meeting against the Raiders:

Storylines Worth Keeping an Eye On

- How the offensive line workload pans out: Last week, the Texans began by rolling out their first-unit offensive line for one drive before pivoting to their backups for the rest of the way.

Houston has already noted that the plan is for most starters to rest this game, but that doesn't mean the coaching staff can't have a similar approach for the front lines at the top of the first quarter as they did last week.

- The outlook in the WR room: News surrounding Jayden Higgins' torn ACL rattled the Texans earlier this week. His exciting year two campaign has now come to an end before it even really started.

Now comes the time for them to start working out how to pivot in the wide receiver room, and part of that discovery may come from the preseason. Keep an eye on who gets extended work on Thursday, who doesn't, and who shines with the extra opportunities.

- LB3 battle remains contested: The biggest position battle uncertainty on the defense relies upon what's ahead at linebacker––specifically at LB3.

A big day from Marte Mapu, Wade Woodaz, Aiden Fisher, Jake Hummel, or Jamal Hill could pay dividends for their stock, and their chances to claim a notable role on the defense, heading closer and closer to the start of the new season.
