Don’t be surprised if you see Jon Gruden’s name on the Raiders’ injury list Tuesday.
No, he didn’t play a down in the Raiders’ Monday night season opener. He didn’t suffer a weight room mishap. Remember when Deion Sanders, then with the 49ers, celebrated a pick-six by performing the Tonawanda two-step into the end zone and wound up with a tweaked groin?
Gruden didn’t do that either.
What the Oakland Raiders head coach did after Monday night’s win over the Denver Broncos, was wade into the Black Hole where he was on the receiving end of pummels, hugs, back slaps, and low, medium and high fives.
