HOUSTON — After a challenging joint practice with the Texans, Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is reconsidering his strategy for the upcoming preseason game, acknowledging that the practice exposed significant weaknesses in both the offensive and defensive lines. The Raiders’ offensive struggles included issues with pass protection and receiver separation, while the defense faced challenges against Houston’s running game and inexperienced secondary players. Despite a few bright moments, such as a touchdown connection between tight end Brock Bowers and quarterback Kirk Cousins, Kubiak emphasized the need for more consistent performance. Thursday’s game now serves as a critical opportunity for the Raiders to address these shortcomings and evaluate their roster ahead of the regular season.
