For much of Tuesday’s OTA practice, Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch stood off to the side of the action, talking with teammates and coaches.
Lynch wore his white No. 24 jersey over a long-sleeved black shirt and his dreadlocks spilled over his shoulders as he did not even carry a helmet.
The veteran running back, who came out of retirement to join the Raiders in April, did not take part in position group drills or line up in formation. But his presence at what is technically a voluntary workout for players carried its own significance.
“He’s been here like he said he’d be here,” Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio said.
