Schrader rushed nine times for 13 yards and returned one kick for 29 yards during Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.

Schrader's momentum came to a halt with a disastrous outing against the Browns. After starting the preseason hot with 140 total yards on offense in his first two appearances, he averaged a paltry 1.4 YPC against Cleveland and failed to record a target for the first time all preseason. Saturday's performance will leave the second-year running back from Missouri in a precarious position with final roster cuts looming soon, as Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are locks to make the team and fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter (who started the preseason finale for the Rams) is almost certain to join them.

Meyers failed to bring in his only target in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Meyers played on the Raiders' opening drive with Geno Smith and other starters but came up empty on his one opportunity. Despite a quiet preseason that saw him bring in only one of three targets for four yards, Meyers will begin the regular season against his old Patriots squad on Sunday, Sept. 7 as Las Vegas' No. 1 wide receiver, although tight end Brock Bowers could well prove to be Smith's top target over the course of the campaign.

Smith completed two of three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Smith wrapped up his preseason by cashing in on the Raiders' opening drive, one where he recorded nine- and 17-yard completions to Michael Mayer and Dont'e Thornton, respectively, with the latter throw going for a touchdown. Smith also had a 10-yard completion to Thornton on third down erased from the books thanks to Las Vegas accepting a pass interference penalty, making it an encouraging night overall for the veteran signal-caller. Smith's primary backup Aidan O'Connell notably exited with a wrist injury later in Saturday's game, so Smith could be set to be backed up by rookie sixth-round pick Cam Miller for a Week 1 road matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Dicker converted attempts of 52, 37 and 27 yards, and he has not missed a kick since the Hall of Fame Game. He's locked in as the Chargers' kicker entering the regular season and has converted over 90 percent of his field-goal attempts in each of the last two years with the Chargers.

Jeanty rushed twice for five yards in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Jeanty logged the Raiders' first touch from scrimmage and shared time with Zamir White on the drive. Jeanty, the rookie first-round pick, had a relatively quiet first preseason as a pro, rushing 12 times for 37 yards and a touchdown while recording one catch for two yards over three games. That type of sparse usage should be a distant memory as soon as the regular season begins, as Jeanty is expected to handle a robust role in the Raiders' ground attack beginning with a Week 1 road matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Gadsden recorded three catches on four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss.

Gadsden played for well over half of the game and showed off his ability as a pass catcher. His most notable grab was a contested 25-yard touchdown reception delivered by DJ Uiagalelei. Gadsden has gotten some positive attention for his performance during training camp, and he'll head into the first regular season of his pro career with some positive momentum.

Reagor recorded three catches on three targets for 33 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Reagor got a chance for extended run due to four of the Chargers' top receivers sitting out the game. He recorded all of his stats on passes from Trey Lance, highlighted by a 17-yard gain that came primarily after the catch. Reagor is fighting for a roster spot, and he made a solid case for himself with this performance.

Heinicke completed three of five passes for 31 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Heinicke was the second Chargers quarterback into the game, notably after Trey Lance. The former wasn't asked to do much-- the playcalling heavily slanted toward the run -- though Heinicke did manage to record completions of 12 and 13 yards to Oronde Gadsden and JaQuae Jackson. Saturday's usage suggests Heinicke has slipped to third on the quarterback depth chart, though that won't become entirely clear until the team's Week 1 matchup against the Chiefs.

Lance completed five of eight passes for 38 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Lance drew the start with Justin Herbert resting, though he notably played ahead of Taylor Heinicke. Lance didn't lead a scoring drive, but he did have completions of 11 and 17 yards to Jalen Reagor to account for the majority of his production. It remains to be seen if Lance or Heinicke will serve as the No. 2 quarterback in Week 1 against Kansas City, though Lance has primarily played well with plenty of opportunity this preseason.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Robinson is believed to have suffered a broken forearm in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The undrafted rookie out of BYU played 105 snaps across defense and special teams this preseason and was competing for one of the final roster spots in San Francisco's secondary. He could now be ticketed for injured reserve.
