Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said the team’s healthy starters will play a few series in the preseason finale Thursday, Aug. 30. ‘Nobody wants to see anybody get hurt,’ Allen said. ‘The whole preseason is a delicate balance of getting guys reps and getting them ready to play the opening night of the season and not working them too much where you wear them down.’

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron realizes there is a lot of pressure on his unit to perform this season; however, he is looking forward to the challenge. ‘I hope so,’ Cameron said. ‘I really do. If you don’t thrive on that … You talk to the coaches that retire, you talk to the players that retire – that’s what they miss. That’s what you would miss. I get to actually do it. I love what I do, and what you love about this game is the pressure that comes with it as a coach and as a player.’
