Most teams usually elect to limit, if not bench, all their starters week four of the preseason. So, for most squads, week three is the last these players will take the field till week one of the regular season. Lets look into five takeaways from the game in Dallas last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, the Raiders were able to return home with the vast majority of their players healthy. This was not the case for some teams. The Patriots lost WR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/EdelJu00.htm\">Julian Edelman<\/a> for the year with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/20465695\/julian-edelman-new-england-patriots-torn-acl\">torn ACL<\/a>, the Chiefs starting tailback <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WareSp00.htm\">Spencer Ware<\/a> is out for the 2017 season with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/story\/0ap3000000835528\/article\/chiefs-expect-spencer-ware-torn-pcl-to-miss-season\">torn PCL<\/a>, and finally, the Bears with be without 2016 leading wide receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MereCa00.htm\">Cameron Meredith<\/a>\u00a0when he went down with a <a href=\"http:\/\/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com\/2017\/08\/28\/cameron-meredith-has-torn-acl-other-damage-to-knee\/\">gruesome knee injury<\/a> last weekend. The Raiders were able to avoid any major injuries in this game. The only concern currently is for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AmerDa00.htm\">David Amerson<\/a>. Amerson, one of the starting corners, suffered a possible concussion in the second quarter of the game against Dallas. If diagnosed, this could be his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/amp\/s\/www.cbssports.com\/fantasy\/football\/news\/raiders-david-amerson-in-concussion-protocol\/amp\/\">second concussion<\/a> in less than a year. Besides that, the Raiders are in good health.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Edelman. Ware.

He played with the first team defense in a hybrid safety\/linebacker role and also with the second time at the strong safety position. Melifonwu played decent for a rookie seeing his first game action of the preseason. The former UConn Huskie made a nice play on All Pro running back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/ElliEz00.htm\">Ezekiel Elliott<\/a>\u00a0on the edge in the first quarter, showing Ken Norton Jr. and Jack Del Rio some of the athleticism that made him the #56 selection in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/amp\/s\/amp.nfl.com\/news\/story\/0ap3000000804249\/article\/raiders-add-combine-star-in-uconns-obi-melifonwu%3fnetworkId=4595&amp;site=.news&amp;zone=story&amp;zoneUrl=url%253Dstory&amp;zoneKeys=s1%253Dstory&amp;env=&amp;pageKeyValues=prtnr%253Dcollege-football%253Bteam%253Doak%253Bteam%253Dsea%253Bconf%253Dafc%253Bconf%253Dnfc%253Bdvsn%253Dacw%253Bdvsn%253Dncw%253Bplyr%253Dkameron_chancellor%253Bplyr%253Drichard_sherman&amp;p.ct=CFB+24%252F7&amp;p.adsm=false&amp;p.tcm=%2523ffffff&amp;p.bgc1m=%2523000000&amp;sr=amp\">2017 draft<\/a>.

It took a while for his presence to be felt this preseason but it was worth the wait. The former Minnesota Viking made a nice sideline catch for Carr during the second offensive series. Furthermore, Patterson capped that drive with a skinny post to score the Raiders first touchdown of the game. Raider fans know what Patterson can do on special teams, but added production from him on offense makes the team even deadlier this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wide.

This week was no different. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CarrTr00.htm\">TJ Carrie<\/a> was roughed up for the second straight game. He was flagged for pass interference and was beat on several plays, especially on an overthrown deep pass to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BryaDe01.htm\">Dez Byrant<\/a>. If Amerson is diagnosed with another concussion, Carrie could be asked to take a bigger role to start the season. At the same time, it puts even more pressure on rookie\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/ConlGa00.htm\">Gareon Conley<\/a> to preform like a first round pick when he\u2019s ready to play.
