Summary
- Rookie QB Fernando Mendoza's playing time will be limited.
- Mendoza's preseason stats show one touchdown and one interception.
- 49ers focus on key players returning from injury for Week 1.
Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza is expected to have limited playing time this season. His final preseason action against the San Francisco 49ers will be the last opportunity to see him in a game until he is fully ready. Mendoza has shown typical rookie performance in limited preseason snaps, completing 10 of 16 passes for 193 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
The 49ers, on the other hand, are using their final preseason game to manage injuries and prepare for Week 1. Their priority is ensuring key players like tight end George Kittle, recovering from an Achilles injury, and pass rusher Nick Bosa, who is healing from ACL surgery, are ready for the regular season.
