ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Coach Dennis Allen will get a prime-time stage to the start of his tenure with the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders will once again open the season in the back end of a Monday night doubleheader on Sept. 10 at home against San Diego. This marks the fourth time in five years that Oakland has opened in the late Monday night game.

The NFL released the schedule on Tuesday. That was also the first day of Allen’s first voluntary minicamp as Raiders coach. Allen said the priority at the first minicamp was installing the new playbook and working on basics like how to break the huddle and line up in proper formations.
