Since Oakland Raiders second round pick Mario Edwards Jr. went on the IR after a devastating block from Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy, the team has been very quiet about a recovery timetable for the young pass rusher. Each time the media asks a vague answer is given as it appears nobody knows how long Edwards will be out with what seems to be a serious injury.
Talking before the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, head coach Jack Del Rio again did not give a clear answer on Edwards status. A similar lack of update to what general manager Reggie McKenzie gave during Super Bowl week as the Raiders just do not know how long they will be missing one of their most promising young players.
