Fabian Washington showed up for Tuesday’s passing camp without one accessory: a red jersey.
The cornerback had worn a red, non-contact jersey since undergoing shoulder surgery in the offseason, but he shed the outerwear and appeared to play with little hesitation.
The shoulder is not 100 percent healthy yet, but Washington said he decided to lose the jersey as more of a symbolic gesture.
“That was just something I decided to do because the red jersey doesn’t really protect you,” he said. “They’re still going hard, and I’m still going hard. So I just decided to take it off. At some point, I’m going to have to test out this shoulder, and I decided to do it today.”
Washington, who turned 26 on Tuesday, seems to have established himself as the team’s No. 1 cornerback after turning in a solid season last year while starters Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle battled injuries and a lack of productivity.
But the one area of Washington’s game that he intends to concentrate on i...

Jeff Garcia's Fantasy Football Ranking
Garcia to Push Russell for Playing TimeJeff
signed on with the Raiders this off-season after leaving the Tampa Bay

Sebastian Janikowski's Fantasy Football Ranking
Ha Yes, SeaBassLook
for Sebastian to move over the 100 point marker this season. The
Raiders offense will be a bit better this year. If Jamarcus Russell

behind him. And with the Raiders three headed running game, they should
be able to move the ball into Seabass's area more often......
JaMarcus Russell's Fantasy Football Ranking
Something to Prove in 2009Russell
has been a mystery to me so far in his career. This guy seems to have
the tools for fantasy greatness and yet I'm not sure if he has the
drive to succeed in the NFL. JaMarcus is now entering his 3rd season in
the league. This should be the year we see Russell breakout for at
least 20 touchdowns and 3,500 passing yards. But I don't believe...

A Refreshing Surprise in OaklandThings

for now he is the #1 target for either Russell or Garcia. Zach's only
problem is finding the end zone as he only had 1 touchdown...
