ALAMEDA – Menelik Watson practiced all week and it seems likely the Raiders starting right tackle will play Sunday against Tennessee.
He missed Week 2 with a groin injury, but should reunite the starting offensive line after one week off.
Austin Howard filled in for Watson against Atlanta after missing the season opener with an ankle sprain, and was put right back on the shelf this week. He has been declared out for Sunday’s game.
“We really appreciate the way he fought through last week,” Del Rio said. “It took a lot out of him. Now he’s back down and will be resting this week.
