Today the Raiders were back in pads. They were back. In. Pads. It was an afternoon practice this time which unfortunately took place as two former Raiders greats -- Ron Wolf and Tim Brown -- were giving their Hall of Fame speeches, but with the preseason opener coming up in less than a week, the show must, you know.... go on.
Injury updates: Justin Tuck was back on the practice field today after a veteran day off on Friday. The tight end and running back groups were pretty thin today. Clive Walford still not practicing and Lee Smith not out there either, while the running backs were down three guys with Roy Helu, Michael Dyer, and Jamize Olawale all not practicing.
