JaMarcus Russell sat out todays practice after sitting out last night.
Coach Lane Kiffin said X-rays were “fine.”
“None whatsoever,” Russell said when asked if there was anything to be overly concerned about. “I’m OK and I’m pretty happy.”
That said, there are no guarantees Russell will practice during the Raiders double session Thursday at 9 a.m. and [...]

With all the training camps now up and running, it couldn’t be a better time to take a look at how the Oakland Raiders competition within the AFC West. Not only am I going to examine the rosters of the teams us Raider fans hate most, but the Fan-Sided blogger’s for the Chiefs, Broncos, and [...]

Here are some note and links on the first 4 days of Oakland Raider training camp.
Ronald Curry looks like the best receiver so far. I’d actually be surprised if the only returning receiver (worth mentioning) wasn’t ahead of the new Raiders. With plenty of good comments for Drew Carter during the mini-camps and OTA’s, and [...]

Nnamdi Asomugha could’ve gotten out of a good chunck of the Oakland Raiders training camp, and no one would’ve been surprised. Every year (i.e. Terrell Suggs this season) several franchised players wait until the last possible moment to sign; sometimes even months after the deadline to sign a taged player to a contract extension has [...]

I took a couple days off from my inspection of the Oakland Raiders depth chart to do a couple other things, but with the players checking into the Napa Marriott in the next 24 hours it’s time to get back to it.
No.1 Javon Walker
Walker will be examined early and often by Raider coaches during training [...]

It is a common trend in the NFL for talented, but aging NFL veterans to change teams within their division. Neil Smith went to Denver, Marcus Allen went to K.C., and now Greg Wesley heads to Oakland. Small joke; there’s no way I can compare the Smith and Allen transfers to Wesley’s arrival. But there is one thing that should occur [...]

Ex-Oakland Raider and future Hall of Famer Tim Brown had some comments that made a few headlines last Friday.
Now if you watch the Favre segment of PTI video above you’ll hear them mention one quote that is not printed in the LA Times link from the last sentence. That Tim Brown thinks Brett Favre should [...]
