Head Coach Jack Del Rio has dubbed the last day of the work week “Fast Friday.” Today has certainly been a whirlwind with the arrival, signing and first practice for new Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith. Twitter was on fire with the news as the Silver and Black took to the practice field for their final tune up before Sunday’s regular season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
It remains to be seen whether or not Smith will play this Sunday. Head Coach Jack Del Rio said that determination has not been made. As the Associated Press’ Josh Dubow astutely pointed out on Twitter, defensive end Richard Seymour was acquired two days before the Raiders season opener, played and recorded two sacks in his debut.
