NAPA -- The Raiders' battle at right tackle won't be decided today, tomorrow and maybe not in two weeks.
Menelik Watson and Austin Howard have picked up where they left off last season, each fighting on the fields beyond the Napa Valley Marriott for the right to start the Sept. 11 opener. If last year taught us anything, it may simply be the man still standing at the end of camp who wins the job. Watson was in line to be the starter entering the third preseason game in 2015 before he ruptured his Achilles. Howard, the team's starting right guard in 2014, took over in Watson's absence and held the job until a knee injury cost him the final three games.
