ALAMEDA – Gareon Conley has a healthy resume. He doesn’t have a track record of ailments, no physical issues chronically keeping him out of games at Ohio State or in high school.
As a matter of fact, he didn’t miss a game with injury as a Buckeye.
That’s why his first season with the Raiders was so frustrating. The 2017 first round draft pick got kicked in the shin during last June’s mandatory minicamp, and it took nearly a full year to feel right again.
Conley hoped rest and rehab would do the trick. It didn’t.
