LAS VEGAS — The fourth week of Raiders training camp was an eventful one, between joint practice and a preseason game with the San Francisco 49ers. With roster decisions on the horizon and the start of the season less than a month away, time is running short to work through the remaining questions.

The Las Vegas Raiders held a productive joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. One of the bigger storylines to monitor was the play of the defensive line. Superstar pass rusher Maxx Crosby was elite as always. Elsewhere, the defensive tackle position occasionally struggled, but recent acquisition Thomas Booker was a standout.

For the 49ers their health has become a greater concern than their preseason performance. They just need to make sure they have enough healthy bodies to keep their key starters out of harm's way. More than 20 players missed their preseason opener vs. the Denver Broncos with injuries, and that number could rise Saturday when they face the Raiders.

After playing just one series against the Seahawks, Smith logged two possessions against the 49ers and played well. He completed 6-of-8 passes for 55 yards and led two scoring drives. He was accurate, displayed his ability to make throws into tight windows and showed he trusts his teammates to make contested grabs.

The Raiders' receiving corps are pretty thin, in stark contrast to Smith's Seahawks days when he had D.K. Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett at his disposal. In Vegas, it's pretty much Jakobi Meyers and a bunch of unproven players at the position, which will make things difficult for Smith.

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has high praise for this crucial acquisition from the offseason after the loss to the 49ers.
