Head coach Tom Cable said there was a "good chance" Bush would be ready for the team's Week 1 game, and that he would likely not need a cast on the finger.
Raiders | Chaz Schilens likely doubtful for Week 1
Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable said WR Chaz Schilens (knee) is questionable for Week 1, but he is more likely doubtful to play, reports Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers. Cable said Schilens' knee is a "three to six week issue."
Raiders | Jason Campbell has right wrist injury
Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable said QB Jason Campbell (wrist, stinger) has a right wrist injury that is more significant than his stinger, reports ANG Newspapers' Jerry McDonald. Cable said Campbell is not expected to miss Week 1.
You beat me to the punch. The thing that worries me most is the Schilens injury. They have very little experience at the WR spot and he is our most experience guy. I am hoping that the Raiders scoop up Antonio Bryant and give him a look. But of course, hoping that he passes an physical for his recently injured knees.
You REALLY want Bryant ?
People are wondering how he got thru the Bengals doctors in the first place with bad knees .... he made 8 M of doing absolutely NOTHING, now you want to give him MORE money to not be able to play ....
It's no wonder the Raiders struggle every year ... Go ahead AL , it will just be another in the long list of mistakes.
Yeah, Im kind of thinking Antonio Bryant would be Javon Walker part II, but we are thin at the position. Schilens is supposedly 3-6 weeks out....history tells us to double that estimate, so id say hes out at least half the season. I hope Im wrong.
The Michael Bush injury concerns me equally, I hope his estimated time to comeback is correct.
Teams have to go from 75 to 53 by Saturday, there will be plenty of scrubs better than Bryant available.
They stated that it was a minor surgery and he would be back by the 2nd game. I don't know about you but surgery is surgery.....especially in the hand.
I understand that salsa, but last season they said he would be back sooner than he did.....so maybe its something other than minor surgery that theyre not saying, its Al Davis we're talking about. Unlike most Raider fans, Im not anti Al, but I wouldnt put anything past him either.
Seems like our Raiders have an issue with injuries with important folks at the most critical time.
Yes sir! Maybe our former first rounders, the ones that should be shining anyways, will finally step it up in their place, you know Heyward-Bey and Mcfadden.
Let us pray!
Any updates on Jason Campbell? How's that injury coming along?
