NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Raiders offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom always prepares to start, even though it doesn’t happen much.
He went two-and-a-half full seasons between them, a wide expanse bookended by the 2012 season finale and a Nov. 15 quarrel with Minnesota.
His latest was his first at center, made with Rodney Hudson sidelined with a sprained right ankle. He was doubtful that week, and wasn’t deemed fit for duty on game day.
Hudson’s in a similar predicament this week. He is doubtful after aggravating his ankle against the Detroit Lions. His availability is suspect at best.
