WR Ford suffers broken hand (updated)
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, July 31st, 2011 at 5:46 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson just revealed to the media in his Sunday news conference that second-year wide receiver Jacoby Ford suffered a broken left hand and could be out a couple of weeks.
The Raiders are counting upon Ford to be one of their primary playmakers this season on the heels of his stellar rookie season last season.
Ford appeared to hurt his hand during practice Saturday. He was spotted with his left hand wrapped afterward but did not speak with the media.
“He broke his left hand and (it’s) unfortunate,” Jackson said. ”Everybody’s looking, going, ‘Oh gosh, here we go.’ Jacoby Ford will be fine, O.K. And, again, those are the things that happen. But he’s good. He’ll be back. I feel very good about it. He’s good, his spirits are good and we’ll be rolling soon.”
Ford’s absence gives younger receivers more of an opportunity to press their case for inclusion on the 53-man roster.
Broke free from the player interviews to deliver this news. Headed back down to conduct some player interviews. I shall be back at you in awhile.

Well, crud.
So it’s Chaz and DHB starting for now, I guess…
July 31st, 2011 at 5:48 pm
And the hits just keep coming. Heal quickly, JF.
July 31st, 2011 at 5:49 pm
2 weeks i don’t think it will be a huge thing

Notice Steve was timely with the news, too. Good work Steve. Looking forward to the next report.
July 31st, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Come on Denarius! Come on Schilens!
July 31st, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Can we be absolutely sure that DHB hasn’t been playing with two broken hands these passed two years?
July 31st, 2011 at 5:53 pm
Damn hopefully he will be ready but rest him we need him. And i want to get cromartie not comfortable with CJ37 Cro would bring that attitude and swagger Hue loves.
July 31st, 2011 at 5:53 pm
Injuries happen but this sucks…
July 31st, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Bummer!
#1 thing I was hoping for was for us to be healthy.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see a WR option signed now.
July 31st, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Panic mode now its def time to bring in Floyd
July 31st, 2011 at 5:57 pm
I want ot hear we signed Cromartie, Miller and Bush
July 31st, 2011 at 5:58 pm
That sucks hopelly back soon here is a good link for football news.

Louis Murphy had more recrptions for more yards than any of our WRs last season. He’s 6′2, Ford is 5′9. It seems more likely to me that Murphy could be the WR who becomes the go to guy this year. I think I will make that prediction – Murphy will be Jason Campbell’s number one reciever this season.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:00 pm
so much for all this hard nose, oklahoma drill, beat each others azzez in camp. you can count on chaz to be next.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:00 pm
I’m not a fan of the J-E-T-S,Jets,Jets,Jets so I hope we just are in the Cromartie sweeps to jack up the price they have to pay him.We drafted 4 CBs the last two drafts.Lets put them out there,see who wins the job,and roll with him.I’m glad we haven’t been bringing in a lot of others teams headaches/cast-offs.Have faith in who we’ve been picking.Unless we can get a superstar,pass.

How “explosive” was our offense when we played legit d’s like the steelers, 49ers, Colts, Titans, and Dolphins?

Ted, the chiefs d was weak,
******************
Funny how you claim the 9ers d was legit, but the Cheifs D was weak, yet they both were about the same.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/total/position/defense
Also funny how you have no response to us beating SD – even though they had the #1 D overall…
July 31st, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Just Fire,
Agree with you on Louis Murphy….
Lefty had good post too….leave Cromartie and his drama and overpaid compensation alone.
If the Front 7 does its job…won’t matter who’s playing in the backfield
July 31st, 2011 at 6:06 pm
The Raiders traded Nnamdi for Seymour and Wimbley.
Al Davis is making SMART adjustments to his strategy
July 31st, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Crap!! Bad news about Ford. Get better soon little man, we need you. On the other hand GREAT news about Dirty Raccoon with a CODE BLaCK 2011 sign at Piled High Stadium. Go Raccoon!! Do it bra!
July 31st, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Did Bush have a broken hand in camp last year
July 31st, 2011 at 6:08 pm
BigTed,Alex has always been a glass 2/3 empty guy.I wonder if he even enjoys the games when we win.He hates J.Campbell,which is his right,and it affects how he views the team.

Thanks Left, can’t stop the Haters from Hatin’ I guess…
July 31st, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Thats just great. Hope 2 weeks means 2 weeks and not a nagging 4.
Time for DHB ‘the toothache’ to strap it on and nut it up
July 31st, 2011 at 6:16 pm
JHill-good point.This may require us to get another WR.The question is will it be a name or a camp body?
July 31st, 2011 at 6:17 pm
STEVE,
I read every post on this blog and have for several years.
You’re doing great man…good work.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Starting to wonder if Huffy is going to wish he moved on once he gets to Hue’s Camp. One arm tackles are not acceptable anymore.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:19 pm
VittorioTafur Vittorio Tafur
Huff said he signed a long time ago, didn’t field any other offers. Was just waiting for #Raiders to get under cap
——————-
Hopefully Miller has done the same.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Honestly,Fords hand doesn’t bother me if the coach says its a 2 week deal.I’d like to hear more about the state of the Oline-how they look,who’s playing where,and who looks sharp and who doesn’t.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Anyone know how Ford hurt/broke his hand? If it was from one of the DB’s, Raiders don’t need Cro.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Hey Steve! C’mon man there’s got to be more than just the news about Ford today.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Steve has been doing a good job,IMO.However,I’d like to see him give us transcripts of the coaches media sessions like ‘Jer’ used to do.They weren’t always informative,but they were usually good reads.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:30 pm
No to Cro.
ever since he whiffed on that shonn greene touchdown in the playoffs against SD he’s been one of my least favorite players in the league. Notice the Jets weren’t exactly DYING to resign him.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Time to get the ‘Q’ going.Later fellow Raider fans.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Eat hardy Lefty
July 31st, 2011 at 6:35 pm
crap. Nothing good ever comes out of a broken bone. I’m sure it will heal but it will be on Ford’s mind just like Murphy started getting gun shy after breaking his collar bone last year.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:39 pm
What’s up with Huff not fielding other offers? I would kinda like to know what his market value is before we give him a huge contract!

I hope Jacoby will be fine. I was hoping to compare him as a faster T. Brown. Big shoes to fill but you all know what I mean.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Huff claims had conract waiting to get under cap now we need Miller the Raiders signings started before the Lockout remember everyone making fun of the Raiders for signing so many players without knowing what was going on thats why they are sitting back now and letting all these other teams lose alot of their players or pick up a few washed up Vets our Team still Intact Exsample Niners LOL
July 31st, 2011 at 6:56 pm
Raiders for Life,
I was skeptical on Ford but dude is like a Steve Smith from Carolina imo. Strong as a pitbull and fast like a mofo. On top of that, he got solid football skills. Unlike DHB, he can track the ball and fight for it. When Steve Smith was younger, he was deadly and I compare Ford to him, except stronger.
July 31st, 2011 at 6:57 pm
If it’s truly a 2 or 3 week injury this isn’t a huge deal. Season’s still 6 weeks away.

July 31st, 2011 at 7:02 pm
lol grads
July 31st, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Losing Miller is worse than losing Nnamdi.

I like the way Hue is running camp. Doesn’t seem to be to much fkn around being nice. A bit of a difference from Cable.
July 31st, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Meyers can’t catch. Losing Miller would be huge and bigger loss than #21.
July 31st, 2011 at 7:07 pm
I know its only a couple of weeks but man…Well this will give the ord a shot to look at the other WR’s on the team…No reason to panic…
July 31st, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Well..that sucks Ford got hurt!
Hopefully its not one of them “Chaz” injuries..out 2-3 weeks means a whole season!!

While they await a decision and await getting a deal with A. Cromartie, the Jets worked out CB Phillip Buchanon of the Redskins

I will be at the game for Monday Night Football! I live in Denver and go to the Raider game every year. My wife is a Donkey fan, and of course I’m a Raider fan. Last year she left at half-time of the wonderful 59-14 beat down. Here’s to hoping she ends up leaving early again!
July 31st, 2011 at 7:13 pm
I’m not a fan of the Oklahoma drill. I know it’s old school but nothing good comes out of it imo. Art Shell ran it too.

CODE BLACK 2011, different name.
Go back to last nights blog from around 8-10pm. You will find the originator and meaning.

Willyboarder73… You need to make a CODE BLACK 2011 sign for the game bro
July 31st, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Hue is bascially building a tougher team. That much is apparent. He is building B’More of the West except with a much more potent offense.
July 31st, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Losing Miller would be huge and bigger loss than #21
——————————————————
Wow!
Well, like most GMs (judging by the lack of offers from ANY team), I’ll have to disagree. Pass catching TEs are a dime a dozen.
More importantly, doesn’t everyone want to see our WRs lead the team in catches? Wouldn’t you like to see a guy like Ford running the underneath routes instead of a TE?
I’d rather have a TE who can block, and give Miller’s touches to DMac and Reece outta the backfield, or a WR running underneath routes.

Takes time away from Glo and Ford continuing to build their chemistry.
July 31st, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Grad is actively trying to get him to Cinci.

I hope Miller thinks as highly of Gardowski as some of the posters on here do.
We can use that $ to sign a WR and some more OL depth.
