Injuries and roster cuts
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, September 5th, 2009 at 11:14 am in Oakland Raiders.
As the Raiders work on cutting their roster to 53, they must sort out the physical condition of their injured players and determine the best course of action.
If it’s a player who was on the bubble anyway, they might simply be “waived injured” and receive a parting gift of some cash for their troubles.
If it’s someone like wide receiver Chaz Schilens, who won’t be ready for the opener but is being counted on not long after, it’s not an issue at all.
Anyone placed on injured reserve is done for the season. The Raiders have no players eligible for reserve/PUP, which is only for those who came into training camp injured and never came off training camp PUP.
The following were injured Raiders players as they played their last game against Seattle:
– Schilens. Nothing to discuss here.
– RB Louis Rankin. Cable said after the game he didn’t finish because of an ankle injury. Reporters saw him with his knee being iced. If the injury is serious enough, he stays a Raider by being placed on I.R. but can’t play this year, nor can he attend meetings or practice with the team. If healthy enough, Rankin can be cut and brought back to the practice squad, but would be available to teams wanting to claim him for the 53-man roster.
– RB Justin Fargas, hamstring. Couldn’t have faced Seattle had it been a regular season game, but coach Tom Cable says the opener is not an issue. If there was any thought of trading Fargas, however, the hamstring complicates things. How much would you give up for a running back with a history of collisions and a bad hamstring?
– S Michael Huff, quad. Don’t know if it’s a bruise or a strain because it’s never been specified. But Huff has missed time of late and would seem to be out of the running to challenge Hiram Eugene at free safety. Could be the Raiders are still a year away from giving up on Huff, because frankly, there doesn’t appear to be anyone on the roster seizing the moment to push him off.
– S Mike Mitchell, hamstring. Supposedly will be on the field this week. Had things come along very slowly, or if he had a serious setback, an Arman Shields situation could have developed. The Raiders didn’t think Shields was that badly injured last year, but put him on I.R. anyway. As it turned out, Shields was never ready.
– T Khalif Barnes, broken ankle. Should be back by Week 2 or 3. The Raiders have no viable replacement until then if Mario Henderson goes down.
– C John Wade stinger. Hasn’t practiced exactly once since the Dallas game, then was out again the next day. Don’t be surprised if the Raiders are watching the cut list for centers.
– LB Kirk Morrison, elbow. Insists he’ll be ready for the opener, which is exactly what you’d expect him to do. Cable seems to think he’ll be ready as well. Doesn’t appear as if a trade or position switch to strong side linebacker is in the works.
– LB Isaiah Ekejiuba, shoulder. Has had shoulder issues before, so Raiders simply shut him down for the preseason. After being made the highest paid pure special teams player in the league during the offseason, his job is secure.
– S Rashad Baker, stinger. Baker is a player Cable likes because he performed well toward the end of the season and particularly in the last two wins, games that earned the coach his job. Davis isn’t quite as enamored, as evidenced by the fact the Raiders made no attempt to sign Baker when he became a free agent. He’s already had a concussion and a stinger since being cut by Philadelphia.
– Here’s a link to a story by Andrew Brandt of the National Football Post, a former Packers excecutive, on players who suddenly become “injured” at cutdown time.

It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Isn’t it?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Get us some player AL!!!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:26 am
I hope they kill Al Davis in the meeting. It would be the best roster cut in Raider history.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Ahhh, MR — Spreading that good cheer, as usual.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I’d be spreading the good cheer if Cable grabbed a bat and just “caponed” Al Davis right there in the meeting.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Enough said
September 5th, 2009 at 11:38 am
The OSU is not looking great.
Al,
Get us Dline players and a True MLB!
Also, Oline players!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Dan Klecko just got cut. The Raiders should be bringing DT’s by left and right and getting a look at them.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Wow MaddenRaider..
Its still just a game bro
September 5th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Klecko is 5′11 275!!
We need to fix the problem, and not add to it!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:44 am
MR= 3rd and 10 back to pass, designed dink pass the the FB for a gain of 4. Efficiency

C Carter’s son looks good, but The OSU is not looking so good. Especially for #6!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Yeh, Brien. That’s all we did when Gruden was here. Throw for 4 yards on 3rd and 10. It was horrible. It’s amazing we managed to win 11 games with such a dumb offense. Thank god we’re using the vertical game again, and trying to throw for 30 yards…when we only need 6. Oh, and the wins are racking up, aren’t they?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:50 am
We get it!!!
You have a Man Crush on Gruden!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:51 am
Garcia has AIDS, Brien? Never heard of that.

I hope ND doesn’t suck as bad as the Raiders this season…I need one of my football teams not to blow. Fuk.

Garcia has Aids!
Cut Garcia!
I love Apple Pie!
Cut Fargas!
Cut Walker!
I love Waffles!
Cut sands!
Cut Green!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:57 am
At what time we will know the cuts?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:57 am
WTF is OSU doing!!!!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Man Crush on Gruden. Wow. Good argument, genius. (not)
Wow, OSUs about to choke against Navy.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Man, I can’t believe they kept Stewart and waived Meyers…and kept Farglass and waived Rankin (not all that surprised)
hopefully they will stay on the practice squad.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:59 am
They are about to lose to Navy! Wow
September 5th, 2009 at 11:59 am
MR — You keep DEMANDING people to give their predictions and/or picks.
How come you still won’t tell us PLAYER-FOR-PLAYER who you would have drafted this year, in lieu of the Raiders’ picks?
So many guys have looked miserable, been hurt, just signed/still unsigned (haha – how’s that bargain looking?), etc…it should be SUPER EASY to compare player-for-player picks.
But, no…MR will not compare the players he would’ve picked to the ones AL picked…because he’s afraid EVERYONE will realize what most of us already know:
MR couldn’t out-draft Al Davis — and he’s afraid to prove it.
For all the talk you do about credibility, MR…I’ve got to make this a…
HYPOCRITE ALERT HYPOCRITE ALERT HYPOCRITE ALERT
Give us your (in lieu of) draft picks, MR…or is Al really that much better than you at selecting talent, that you don’t have the balls?
Talk about lacking credibility!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Yeah, cut Cornell Green, he has been awful in preseason.
I guess Pears is even worse… but he did well in Denver, and he played LT there. So I don’t understand anything.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
If it looks like a duck and squacks like a duck it must be Jeff Garbage-cia.
As for the dink and dunk offense, those days are over man. Get over it. We dont have that sort of personnel here to run it. You Gruden fantasy needs to be ousted immediately man. The dink and dunk offense aint winning a super bowl at all

Hayes, I’m going to forward that comment to the local mental hospitals, just in case they’re missing anyone.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Navy sucks. And they still have to kick off to OSU, right? What a bummer. And what a stupid pass.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Ohio State is lucky as hell but they still Garbage. USC comes to town next week and they better play better

September 5th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Dakota so what if you were kidding? Keeping Farglass sohws we dont want to win
September 5th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
cut the cheese…
September 5th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Yeh, Brien, and the vertical game definitely works today. Like I said, we’ve just been racking up the wins since doing away with Gruden’s system, haven’t we? Your crack pipe is cherry this morning, Brien.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
OSU doesn’t look good, and USC is next week. They are not ready!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
It’s all about loyalty Brien…Cable and Fargas are loyal…means we are fuked for the foreseeable future.
Yes Mr. Davis, whatever you say Mr. Davis!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Both Stewart and Myers are probably going to make the team. We are depth at TE.
But not at other spots. Who is going to play if Asomugha or CJ go down? Routt did awful in preseason, and Miller, Bowie & Co. just suck.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Navy’s quarterback should be thrown overboard.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
The Less Coast offense period isnt winning titles in the league. The Eagles,Packers and others such run a variation of it but actually take shots down field unlike Gruden’s style which was pure Less Coast. Honestly no pure WCO team has won the super bowl since the 49er cheater bowl of the 1994 year.
Teams that throw for the first down markers have real offenses
September 5th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Jezuz, Justin Miller might be the worst backup CB in the NFL…his play against Seattle actually made Routt look good! Justin Miller played like such a fuking puzzy, he was afraid to even touch an offensive player…probably didn’t want to get hurt, but still…what a fag.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Holtz just blamed Obama for Navy losing.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Of course, Brien. And the vertical game has just been racking up wins. I mean, when we were using that “less coast offense”, it was horrible. We lost every week. No playoffs, nothing. But since we ditched that system, we’ve just been on the top of the league! We’ve been unstoppable the past 6 years, and it’s only because we ditched that useless west coast offense and started stretching the field, baby! Sure.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Navy blew the game. Ohio State will lose 3 or 4 games this year. Big Ten is a a joke. I wouldnt be at all surprised if a scrub team wins that conference this season
September 5th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Holtz has AIDS, Brien.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Holtz is funny as hell to me. The old grandpa

Probably we are looking for CB’s when the teams cut players… some teams garbage is other teams treasure (see Rankin)

The Less coast offense is something that should never be brought back, just like the Shag mullet hairdo these artists are now starting to rock again

See, now Dakota’s talking about giving blow jobs. It’s fantasies like that that can get you hurt in the military, Dakota. That’s all Clinton was concerned about.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Brien, you’re right. The west coast offense should never come back. We’ve been doing just fine with the vertical game. No doubt.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
And I agree, these mohawks people are rocking are hideous. But, the youth are here to replace us, and part of that grand scheme is to do things just to piss us off.

MR — Nice deflection…again, not giving the answer.
I saw you were really trying to stir the race-riot in here yesterday, too. I know better, but you should be ashamed.
Statements like this show exactly what you’re in here for…and it sure isn’t football:
The Real MaddenRaider Says:
No matter how you cut it, there was a racial context to Hout’s mouthing off to Blount.
———————
You know, MR — Even with all the BS “journalism” out there, we didn’t hear ANYONE claim there was a racial context to the assault and battery that occured after that game Thursday. (In fact, people went out of their way to say it DIDN’T play into the incident.) There were so many psychological factors at play at that exact moment, the race issue wasn’t even on the radar.
So…what that leaves is a guy/s like you, who brings up the subject multiple times just to stir the pot — knowing full well the race-card is only being played by you to bring out the worst in this blog.
MR = No Fan Of The Raiders. No Fan Of Football.
MR = Fan Of Misery. Knows Not What Real Happy Is. Insists Everybody Else Be Miserable With Him.
No thanks!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Oh, yeh, Brien, we’ve been kicking ass with the vertical game. Winning year after year. We’ve dominated the league of the past 6 years with the vertical offense. So, sure, we don’t need the west coast offense. Got it.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Dakota, you came in talking about the gay lifestyle, then talked about giving blow jobs, now you’re posting a url to a jpeg. I don’t think so. It stops here. Move along. I don’t swing that way.

Just thinking Saints 3rd string QB who can’t make the team and 4th and 5th string RB’s humillated our first string defense.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:22 pm

MR you are so blinded by hate you even lie to prove your point……..well attempt. Half of the time in this current drought the Less Coast Offense was part of the scheme

Fla Pete gave us his player-for-player draft picks, MR…
And, although I don’t agree with them, at least he’s got the balls to put them up for everybody to compare.
We all know MR doesn’t have the balls, though.
The ENTIRE FORUM knows MR won’t give his picks…
because he can’t rate talent any better than AL Davis…
and he’s AFRAID TO PROVE HE CAN, because WE’LL ALL SEE MR FAIL.

I’m not one to defend CB play because Justin Miller was getting beat because he was hurt with Turf Toe. Justin Miller is fast and he just didn’t have it because of the turf toe but had to play because he wants to make this team. Darrick Brown isn’t an NFL player right now and needs to go work on his skill set for the safety position in the UFL. I heard Chris McAlister maybe available I’m not sure if he is healthy though

Now that MR’s gone…any number of one-and-done names will show up, throw something out there, and disappear. Then…more well-known troll names will show.
That’s what happens when MR stirs it up, finds out EVERYBODY sees he’s got nothing but the hate, and then he leaves for awhile, to try and save face. At least the MR name disappears for awhile, if he doesn’t.
Gotta run…

R Curry was cut by the Rams.
======================================================
Raider O,
Someone tell those Russell haters that this guy, cut by the 2nd worst team in the league, was our starter last year! Also, Raider O, tell the haters that his other receivers were Ashley Lelie, (trying out as a fringe player for the 3rd worst team in the league) and Javon Walker (who was injured all year.
Raider O, also ask the haters where Kwame Harris is playing these days!
======================
In other words, you have someone very SLOW who’s making these choices for these players?
Yeah, we know.
What the hell is Al’s hard-on about former Niner players. Lelie was released because HE SUCKED. So..Al promptly grabs him. Kwame was released because HE SUCKED..so Al promptly grabs him.
Doesn’t Al remind you of a degenerate hermit? I mean, look at him…all raggidy…teeth all brown..hair looks like he’s been sleeping in his car.
Press conferences? Classic guy losing it.
“Can everyone see the overhead projector”?
“This has been going on for days, and weeks and time”

Raiders admit mistake, cut Sands
Posted by Evan Silva on September 5, 2009 4:30 PM ET
The Raiders signed 6′7″ behemoth defensive tackle Terdell Sands to a four-year, $17 million contract in the 2007 offseason, believing him to be the answer for the club’s annual woes on run defense.
He wasn’t, and owner Al Davis acknowledged the mistake by releasing Sands on Saturday. Of course, it didn’t happen until after Davis paid Sands a $1.9 million offseason roster bonus.
Versatile defensive end/tackle Ryan Boschetti was also cut, while undrafted rookie Desmond Bryant, who played for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford, made the team.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
The steelers made their final cuts!
September 5th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
David Tyree did not make it out of NY. Neither did Lichtensteiger the Center from Denver. Either of those guys could possibly help us.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Tyree!!!
No thank you!! We are trying to cut bad players, and not add them.
Cut Walker!
Cut Green!
Cut Garcia!
Cut Fargas!
September 5th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Sands among 22 cuts
The Raiders have until 3 p.m. to finalize their 53-man roster. Names of the 22 players have begun to trickle out.
The Raiders have informed defensive tackles Terdell Sands and Ryan Boschetti they will be released, a league source told The Chronicle.
Sands was due $1.6 million so they save some money, but he already collected on a $1.9 million bonus in the offseason. So ends a bust of a player re-signing. The Raiders gave him a four-year, $17 million contract in 2007 but Sands never lived up to the deal.
Boschetti was signed as a veteran free agent in the offseason. He fell to third-team duty behind undrafted rookie Desmond Bryant, who has made the team, a source said. Boschetti is a Carlmont High grad who played at College of San Mateo.
Bryant has a lot of developing to do out of Harvard but the Raiders love his high ceiling of potential to go with his 6-foot-6, 288-pound size.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Bye bye Sands

Besides, the value of the franchise does NOT include a stadium, nitwit.
========================================================
Of course the value of a team includes the stadium they play in whether they own it or not. You would have to be a feeble minded idiot to not, oh right, we’re talking rack-o-shit here. I forgot. No one cares what you think rack-o-shit turd. Oh, and how bout dat Michael Craptree??
============
Damn, you’re slow.
Pay attention, clown boy.
It’s NOT THE VALUE OF THE STADIUM, it’s the revenue the stadium will bring in.
Last thread you stupidly stated “You have to subtract what is still owed on the stadium before you can state their value”
Let me say it again, YOU ABUSE THE RIGHT TO BE STUPID.
Regarding revenue?
Quote: “Some people say the (Cowboys) are valued at” about $1.5B, but Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones “says that’s undervalued because when you consider the stadium potential where he has controlling rights” to the new stadium being built, the team is “worth in excess of $2[B]”
See, moron, REVENUE..games played there, shows going on there, concerts, etc.
It’s ok, grasshopper,..you just keep pissing into the wind, and we’ll keep pointing out a towel.

September 5th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Bruce Davis was a DE at UCLA, a pass rusher. He was moved to OLB in Pittsburgh and he didn’t make the transition.
He had 29 sacks at UCLA.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Just saw Green Bay cut Brian Brohm, basically leaving them with 2 QBs — Rodgers and Matt Flynn — only one of whom is proven.
AND Rodgers has had some injury troubles in his brief time playing so far.
AND Green Bay is considered by many to be a contender in the NFC.
AND they are supposedly decreasing AJ Hawk’s role in their new 3-4 which means they’ll be paying him a good chunk of money for a diminished role.
Any chance a Garcia + 3rd-round pick is brewing here in exchange for Hawk? That would be sweet.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
So Sands is official out. Finally, the team can move on a really try to get that spot filled.
Bochetti out.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
How good can Crowder be if he can’t make the Donkeys’ lame-azz D?
BTW, I was calling for the Raiders to sign Holliday for weeks.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Garcia is 39:
NO TRADE VALUE
September 5th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Yeah, but he’s a proven backup for a contending team that has a starter in place but would be ruined if that starter went down. He’s got value for a team like that. Plus, the idea has been floated that AJ Hawk could be available for trade. He wouldn’t go for a 1st rounder. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd. So if you package a 3rd-round pick with a solid backup QB to fill a major void for a team like GB, it’s reasonable.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
El Tato,
We should try him at MLB! IMHO
We need a lot of help!

Wilson: Ravens announce final cuts
In addition to trading defensive back Derrick Martin to the Green Bay Packers for offensive lineman Tony Moll, the Baltimore Ravens announced 22 roster moves today to get down to the league roster limit of 53 players.
The Ravens placed rookie linebacker Jason Phillips, a fifth-round pick, on injured reserve due to a lingering knee injury. They waive-injured defensive lineman Will Johnson with an injury settlement. He has a sprained shoulder.
The Ravens also cut the following players: defensive tackle Nadir Abdallah, fullback Jason Cook, wide receivers Justin Harper, Yamon Figurs, Jayson Foster, Ernie Wheelwright and Eron Riley, safety K.J. Gerard, kicker Graham Gano, center Robby Felix, running back Cedric Peerman, tight end Davon Drew, linebacker Tony Fein, tight end Isaac Smolko, cornerback Evan Oglesby, offensive tackles Stefan Rodgers and Tre Stallings and linebacker William VanDeSteeg.

Biggs: Bears announce final cuts
The Bears will keep 11 defensive backs and 10 linemen in hopes that attrition doesn’t affect a unit that has been slipping since an appearance in Super Bowl XLI three years ago. What remans to be seen is how many of those 21 players will dress on Sundays when the team is only going to be playing eight or nine from the position groups at a time.
Veteran cornerback Rod Hood was cut loose just three days after the team signed him and the Bears will go with six cornerbacks: Zack Bowman, Corey Graham, Trumaine McBride, rookie D.J. Moore, Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. Cut were Rudy Burgess, Marcus Hamilton and Woodny Turenne. The five safeties to stick are rookie Al Afalava, Josh Bullocks, Danieal Manning, Kevin Payne and Craig Steltz as Dahna Deleston (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Tillman was promoted from the physically unable to perform list to the active roster.
On the line, end Henry Melton, a fourth-round pick, was placed on injured reserve with what was thought to be a minor ankle injury. It marks the third time in four seasons the club has started the season by placing at least one draft pick on IR. The Bears released ends Ervin Baldwin and Joe Clermond. Linebackers Marcus Freeman, a fifth-round pick, Kevin Malast and Mike Rivera were cut. The Bears will try to sign Baldwin back to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
For the first time in the Jerry Angelo era, the team will begin the season with two quarterbacks as Brett Basanez was let go. He could return on the practice squad. The team will also have just four backs—Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson, Garrett Wolfe and fullback Jason McKie. The Bears kept four tight ends with Michael Gaines and Kellen Davis sticking as backups to Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark.
Wide receivers Brandon Rideau and Eric Peterman were released. The club let go offensive linemen Dan Buenning, Johan Asiata, Cody Balogh and Donovan Raiola, meaning seventh-round pick Lance Louis stays
Rod Hood as a CB?
September 5th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Kiffin will haunt this franchise for years. You Davis-lovers may hate him now but he will make UT real power again. I guess the ghost of Wayne Valley won’t be the only thing keeping Dribbler Davis awake at night.

they got three centers with AQ Shipley now and still keep him which tells me something. he is talented and they gonna make him work somewhere down the line. fuggin squeelers. the team I “hate” most

I really like Tom Cable but he is a dummy and the team showed their love in their performance against the Saints. They quit and twittered.
Kiffin is no saint. He did some stupid things whilst HC of the Raiders. I will never forgive him for blowing O’Neal’s knee in that farce against the Cards. But…Kiffin had a plan, he had a Bellichick-like determination and he had the ability to make the Raiders great again. Sacking Kiffin will rank as Davis’ biggest mistake.

Biggs: Giants announce final cuts
he New York Giants got down to the magic number of 53 and one of the ways they did so was by trading tight end Michael Matthews to the New England Patriots in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
As was reported earlier, veteran wide receiver and Super Bowl hero David Tyree had his contract terminated. Defensive tackle Jay Alford was placed on injured reserve following knee surgery, and the club reached an injury settlement with fellow tackle Jeremy Clark, who had an ankle injury.
The players waived were quarterbacks Andre’ Woodson and Rhett Bomar; running back Allen Patrick; fullback Dwayne Wright; offensive linemen Terrence Pennington, Orrin Thompson and Cliff Louis; wide receiver Shaun Bodiford; defensive linemen Maurice Evans, Tommie Hill, Robert Henderson and Anthony Bryant; linebacker Kenny Ingram; cornerback DeAndre Wright; and safeties Travonti Johsnon, Vince Anderson and Sha’reff Rashad.
Linebacker Michael Boley was moved to the reserve list as he begins his one-game suspension.
