Schilens scoped; DHB returns

Schilens scoped; DHB returns - Inside the Oakland Raiders - A look inside the world of the highly classified Oakland Raiders from the writers of Bay Area News Group

A few preliminary notes following Raiders’ practice as relayed by beat writer Steve Corkran:

– Wide receiver Chaz Schilens underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. Coach Tom Cable was not sure how long he would be out.

– Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey returned to practice and looked the better for sitting out four practices with “fatigue,” making a few plays after dropping off in the sessions that preceded his absence. Running back Darren McFadden was also back on the field.

– Alex Daniels is once again a defensive lineman. He was back to wearing No. 71, instead of 39, and Cable said after practice things hadn’t progressed as the staff had hoped.

– Right tackle Langston Walker (lower back) and defensive tackle Richard Seymour (triceps) didn’t practice, nor did center Samson Satele. Cable said Satele’s ankle injury, sustained early in the Bears game, did not look serious.

– Quarterback Bruce Gradkowski will see considerable action in the last two preseason games, although Cable would not commit as to whether he would go in as No. 2 or No. 3.

More to come later . . .

Me to, I hope he still makes the team as a DE and plays FB on goaline situations.

Well at least now the surgery is done and all thats left to wait. Good to hear DHB is rebounding he's going to be needed!

Im looking foward to the next episode of Hard Knocks to see whats happening with their fullbacks. I hope we have our eye on Tony Richardson.

Hope Chaz heals we need him.......

J. Ford much > then dhSHE. Hes gonna be our track guy WR who can actually play football.......

[swoosh85]

geez chaz... DHB better step it up this year and be the wr we need. DHB and murphy aint a half bad duo if DHB plays well. Put JLH/miller/ford in the ths slot, its not a spectacular wr core, but JC did more with less in washington the last few years. Miller should be a pro bowler.

DHB shut us all us up please

Chaz get well soon, we need you back ASAP

The average athlete can come back from arthroscopic surgery within a couple of weeks so going by that timetable we should hopefully expect Schilens to be ready next spring.

Mr Miagi couldn't heal Chaz

Fatigue. What a load of ****. DHB is 23 years old.

[RaiderOakland]

OMGZ!! DHB is BACKZ! SUPERBOWL BABY!

His two or three drops per game, and his inability to get separation from defensive backs will surely push us over the top.
