We knew that Jon Gruden was pretty concerned about the injury suffered

by Marshawn Lynch Oakland Raiders T-Shirt , which has led him to be questionable on several injury reports this season. But today it was confirmed that this may be a long-term injury for the Raiders star running back.Lynch’s hard running has been one of the very few bright spots for the Raiders this season, but it remains to be seen if he will even return this year or ever again. A groin injury is nothing to mess with, especially for someone who runs with the level of violence Lynch does.For now, we should expect Doug Martin to get the bulk of the carries for Oakland going forward Oakland Raiders Hats , with Jalen Richard continuing his pass-catching role. Don’t be surprised to see the Raiders make a move and add another running back as well. Hopefully, the injury to Lynch won’t linger for too long, but for now the Raiders are woefully thin at running back, which looked like their deepest position coming into the regular season- so much so that they stashed Chris Warren on IR for next year.When and if the Raiders announce a more definite timetable for Lynch’s return or add another back Oakland Raiders Womens Hoodie , you’ll read about it here.

Since then the calls to get their young players on the field has gotten louder. Especially with regard to the safety position where playing a 35-year-old and a journeyman veteran is not the answer.Joseph took the field with the starters for this game and would play 45 snaps (80%) which is easily a season-high for him. He finished third on the team with 5 tackles. Meanwhile Womens Customized Oakland Raiders Jerseys , Reggie Nelson — who has started seven games this season — saw his snaps drop to just 12 (21%).Likewise with rookie Nick Nelson who saw a season high 24 snaps (43%) while veteran Leon Hall’s snaps dropped to 12 (21%).This is as it should be. Now if they could just get Erik Harris more snaps at strong safety and put Karl Joseph at free safety where he belongs.
