Raiders Gab:
New Raiders CB DeAngelo Hall is playing with a broken bone in his hand, and right now is practicing with a thick cast on the hand. "It affects everything," Hall said after practice Tuesday in Napa. "I've got a little broken bone in there. I don't even feel like I should even be out here [...]

Dan Arkush of Pro Football Weekly wrote that the 49ers couldn't have had a worse start than they did in their 18-6 loss to the Raiders last week. Well, actually they could have. At least one of their quarterbacks could have suffered a season-ending injury. Justin Smith or another important defensive player who could torn a knee.
J.T. O'Sullivan was the 49ers No. 1 quarterback for...

As the Raiders prepare for preseason game two, they are also packing up in their 'off time.' Camp ends after two practices Wednesday, and then they'll prepare for flight to Tennessee where they'll face the Titans. The Titans are the only team to outrush the Raiders in the NFL's first full week of preseason action...

Some people suggest that the Raiders beating the 49ers (18-6) means the team could have a good 2008 season. Are they serious? JaMarcus Russell, their star #1 draft pick, was not a factor at all.

NAPA — The Raiders signed veteran safety Adam Archuleta on Monday morning. It's conceivable that two weeks or so from now people might forget that Archuleta even passed through Raiders training camp.
Then again, he could channel his youth, find the Raiders defensive system to his liking and develop into an integral part of their team.
None of that matters...

NAPA — The dog days of training camp are in full swing. The temperature is soaring, the bodies are aching and the regular season seems too far off to grasp.
The players won't get any sympathy from Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin. Suck it up, he said, in essence, on the heels of a second straight subpar showing at practice Tuesday.
"The reality is, I don't think...

Monday morning's practice in Napa saw quite a few dropped passes by receivers trying to reel in JaMarcus Russell bullets.
Short over-the-middle passes to receivers were pretty consistently pinging off the receivers' hands, with the ball appearing to be moving extremely fast. When running backs came under for those same short passes later in the morning session, there was...

Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin kept his football team very busy on their final day of training camp in Napa.
The itinerary for Wednesday didn't give the team much down time.
There was a 6:45 a.m. wake-up call at the Napa Valley Marriott. This was followed by breakfast and treatment.
From 7 to 8:40 a.m., it was tape and dress, followed by a special teams...

NAPA - The newest Raiders linebacker made his debut in practice.
Adam Archuleta said after being released by Chicago in May he decided he wanted to make a team playing linebacker rather than safety, where he'd been much of his career.
"It's been in the back of my mind for a while," Archuleta said. "I enjoy playing in the box and that's what gets me jazzed so...

Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin was asked what he was looking for out of Michael Bush going into the team's first preseason game.
"Run physical, run hard," Kiffin said. "He is the one big guy that we have, and if he can do what we hope he can do then we will be in a good position there."
Playing in his first game since he was in college for Louisville in 2006, Bush...

NAPA — Two weeks ago, Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker contemplated retiring from the NFL after only six seasons, at the age of 29.
Just like that, he was prepared to give back the $11 million signing bonus he received in March.
Raiders managing general partner Al Davis, among others, persuaded Walker to stick it out awhile longer.
Today, Walker...

The second-round pick out of Arizona State not only proved to be a steady downfield threat, setting a franchise record for rookie tight ends, but Miller also developed into Oakland's best blocking tight end.
That he didn't put up better numbers was a result of the Raiders needing to capitalize on his blocking, a predicament Miller finds himself in once again as Oakland...

With one day of training camp left the Raiders seem eager to get out of Napa. Not head coach Lane Kiffin, who had some critical comments for his squad after watching Tuesday's practice.
"I wish we had more time," Kiffin said. "The reality is I don't think we're very good right now as a team. Whatever that first game was, I think we're going to have a big test going into...

Somebody obviously heard Lane Kiffin's S.O.S call for new players.
One day after he openly complained about the lack of roster additions, the Raiders released little-used linebacker Malik Jackson and signed former Stanford cornerback Nick Sanchez on Tuesday, a team source said.
Sanchez, an undrafted rookie free agent, is expected to practice in today's 3-5...

NAPA - Hiram Eugene was given the opportunity to be the Raiders starting free safety last year.
After five starts in the last six games where Eugene struggled with his tackling it was clear the Raiders needed an upgrade. That led to the addition of Gibril Wilson and Michael Huff moving to free safety.
Eugene hasn't sulked. He looks like a better player.
