ALAMEDA – The Raiders altered Friday’s practice schedule due to poor air quality. They converted a typically light end-of-prep-week session to a walk through -- meaning it was consequently shortened – upon recommendation from the Raiders training staff.
Air quality was poor and deemed unhealthy by the Environmental Protection Agency due to thick smoke emanating from the Camp Fire near Chico.
“You have to adapt to the circumstances,” head coach Jon Gruden said. “We tightened practice up while trying to get the reps in that we needed.”
Gruden didn’t make the move because players practiced in poor air quality on Thursday as well.
