Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who has been slowed by sore knees through much of camp, missed practice again Wednesday. Seymour played Friday night at Arizona but hasn't practiced since then. He missed the exhibition opener against Dallas, but Raiders coach Dennis Allen said the plan is for Seymour to play Saturday against Detroit. It's not an injury, Allen said. He's an older veteran guy, and his knees get a little sore, so we try to rest him to make sure we get him ready to play.
I think any time you go into camp you kind of know at some point in time some of these veteran players are going to need some time off. He pushed real hard early in camp, and then as we kind of have gotten into camp we've taken more time off with him.
