Hamstring keeps Raiders' Seymour out of practice

Posted November 08, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Ray Rice,  Richard Seymour,  Desmond Bryant,  Matt Shaughnessy,  Dave Tollefson
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  Oakland Raiders
Trying to stop Baltimore running back Ray Rice was already a monumental task facing the Oakland Raiders this week. Doing it without seven-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour will make the challenge even more daunting. Seymour missed his second straight practice Thursday due to a lingering hamstring injury and is questionable to play in Baltimore on Sunday. The 12th-year veteran was already on a light practice schedule as a result of his troublesome knees. If Seymour can't play, the Raiders would be forced to use a patchwork lineup that also has some health issues. Backup defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was pulled out of last week's loss to Tampa Bay with an irregular heartbeat, while defensive ends Matt Shaughnessy and Dave Tollefson are nursing sore shoulders. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

State of the AFC West: Week 10 Edition

Via Silver and Black Daily  |  November 07, 2012
It was a painful week in many ways for Silver and Black Nation. It was bad enough that Bucs rookie running back Doug Martin made like Walter Payton against the Oakland defense. Add to that the twin high-ankle sprains for Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson, and the week could not have gone any worse. McFadden has not been ruled out [...]

Raiders To Increase Taiwan Jones Workload

Via NFL Trade Rumors  |  November 08, 2012
Raiders second-year running back Taiwan Jones took first team reps during Wednesday’s practice, per Paul Gutierrez of CSNBayArea.com. “He’s been a little up and down,” Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said of Jones, via Gutierrez. “A little injury-prone, or injury-plagued, and so it’s been kind of tough to evaluate because he’s missed some time. But we’ve got confidence...

Offensive Game Grades: Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay

Via Silver and Black Daily  |  November 08, 2012
What a heartbreaking loss for the Raider Nation. The Oakland Raiders were able to score 22 points in the fourth quarter, including 15 unanswered, to be one field-goal away from tying the scoreboard on what would have been an incredible comeback. Unfortunately, the 35 points scored by the Buccaneers in the second half ended up being too much to overcome [...]

Palmer now pivotal figure for Raiders

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  November 07, 2012
What was becoming evident throughout the first half of the season is now patently obvious. As much as running back Darren McFadden was touted as the player whose success was most important to the team, it's clear the Raiders will rise or fall with quarterback Carson Palmer. Now that McFadden and backup Mike Goodson both have high ankle sprains, with their status for Sunday...

Raiders Backfield For Week 10

Via Juan Elway  |  November 09, 2012
I can fly Juan… With DMC and Mike Goodson out for week 10 the duties will be up to Taiwan Jones and Marcel Reece against the Ravens. Taiwan Jones will be the ‘starter’, which can be nothing more than ceremonial at times.  The Raiders have really failed to run the ball effectively this season and they may not change even against a Ravens team that has been run over during the...

Darren McFadden & Mike Goodson Out For Week 10

Via NFL Trade Rumors  |  November 09, 2012
The Oakland Raiders will be without RB’s Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson for Sunday’s game against the Ravens. Both players missed practice on Friday because of high-ankle sprains, so Taiwan Jones figures to see large workload with Marcel Reece being mixed in throughout the game. McFadden’s injury isn’t believed to be too severe, so there’s at least a chance that he...

Oakland Raiders: Week 10 NFL Power Rankings (#30)

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  November 07, 2012
Last week: 30 (-1) Record: 3-5 Oakland/Tampa Bay was a crazy game for statistics. Everyone knows about Doug Martin’s 272 total yards and 4 total touchdowns, which was the 4th highest single game fantasy football total in history. However, we also had Carson Palmer throw for 414 yards and 4 touchdowns in a losing effort for just the 7th time in NFL history. Meanwhile, because of...

Oakland Raiders at Baltimore Ravens: Three Bold Predictions

Via Football Nation  |  November 09, 2012
Few people likely had the Oakland Raiders at the top of their Super Bowl contenders list before the start of the season.Those that did probably reluctantly admitted that this is a "rebuilding" year since Oakland is in a hole and looking up from a 3-5 record. As the Raiders face a stiff Baltimore Ravens defense this week, we make three bold predictions about the outcome...
