Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack has been a holdout throughout training camp, but head coach Jon Gruden believes it isn't negatively impacting his team.
"I don't think it's been a distraction," he said Wednesday, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. "It's obviously, for me, been disappointing. You want to have your best player here. This guy is really a great guy, too. I'm disappointed we don't have him here. Going to try to get him here as soon as we can."
Among the other things Gruden discussed in his press conference was receiver Martavis Bryant, who has earned the nickname "The White Tiger" after the animal Gruden saw at Busch Gardens, which was always in its cage.
