ALAMEDA — Martavis Bryant is done for the season, placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a knee injury.
Whether he ever wears a Raiders uniform again remains to be seen. If not, the Raiders burned a third-round draft pick for eight games, two starts, 19 receptions, 266 yards, no touchdowns and some headaches they knew were possible.
It was an old Al Davis move. Get the talent in the building, then fix it.
When the Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, the hope was Bryant would line up against his former team as the vertical threat the offense desperately needed.
