Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford has exited their preseason week two matchup with the Arizona Cardinals with an apparent ankle or foot injury. He made a nine yard catch midway through the first quarter and came up hobbling. He immediately called for the sideline to replace him in the lineup and hopped to the bench. Afterward he was trying to walk it off and was seen limping back and forth along the sideline. He was then taken to the locker room to get it checked out.

Jacoby Ford went down in the first half of the Oakland Raiders game vs. Arizona. He caught a 9 yard pass from Carson Palmer and got up very gingerly. He limped off the field and at first refused the help of the trainers. He looked to be very frustrated, which usually means the player knows [...]

“To me, the biggest change is probably Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver...

It was bad enough for Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb that Oakland's Tommy Kelly sacked him in the end zone for a safety.

Ryan Mathews says there is ‘no doubt’ that he will play week 1 against the Oakland Raiders. Well, I have doubts. It’s good to hear a player have confidence and that he may ‘ahead of schedule’ on his rehab, but as Norv Turner said “Ryan is NOT a Doctor.” I have laid out my draft plan for Mathews and still think he can provide...

Guys I like:
Carson Palmer: He can be had for a great price in the later parts of your draft. He had fantastic stats to finish the season last year. In last eight starts, was 5th in passing yards, 7th in completion percentage, 9th in completions, 4th in yards per attempt and 12th in TDs. Now has Heyward-Bey and Moore healthy with full offseason. He had 6 INT in first game and a...
