Jordan’s Hurting Back May Hurt Raiders Chances Sunday

The Raiders will look to take the air out of the ball this weekend when they host the suddenly high powered Cleveland Browns.  It will be a lot easier to do that with a 100 percent LaMont Jordan, but it looks as if Jordan will be a bit banged up coming into the week three […]

Russell Practices After Signing Contract

Quarterback JaMarcus Russell hit the practice field Wednesday after signing a contract with the Raiders.  Russell was drafted number-one overall in April, but the 22-year-old LSU standout remained a holdout through all of training camp and the exhibition season, as well as the team’s home opener on Sunday.  Russell could earn as much as 68-million-dollars over […]

McCown Sits, No Word on a Starter for Sunday

Raiders QB Josh McCown did not participate in team drills in practice Wednesday because of an injured right index finger and a sprained right foot, and his starting Sunday’s game in Denver appears to be very much in doubt. The QB hurt his finger on the last play of Sunday’s loss to the Lions, […]
