The season is coming up quick. We’re just three days from the roster cutdown, six days from game week prep and 13 days from the season opener on Monday night. That means the Raiders will soon need to make decisions on how to handle their injured players.
No injured player is more important than right guard Gabe Jackson. He suffered an MCL injury in training camp that carried a timetable of 8 weeks. That would figure to have him out the first four weeks of the season if went well. But we’re only a few weeks into his recovery and once he heals, there’s the matter of getting back in football shape.
