ALAMEDA – Trayvon Mullen was strapped to a stretcher less than a week ago, following a scary situation where teammate Curtis Riley delivered an inadvertent shot to his head. The Raiders cornerback went to the hospital for further examination and has been getting good news ever since.
He was allowed to fly home with the team following a 24-17 victory over the host LA Chargers. The second-round NFL draft pick and full-time starter is in the concussion protocol but doesn’t have a concussion -- once you start the protocol, you have to finish it -- but is dealing with a neck injury and an illness.
