When Jon Gruden took the Raiders head coaching job this year Womens Derek Carr Jersey , he knew that the team would be departing Oakland for Las Vegas for the 2020 season, but that apparently doesn’t make it any easier to leave town.A lawsuit filed by the city of Oakland last week was met by the Raiders pulling their offer to play at the Coliseum in 2019 and opened the door to a variety of options for their home field next season. It also means that next Monday’s game against the Broncos might be the NFL’s swan song in Oakland, although Gruden expressed hope Monday that the team can delay the end of pro football in the city as long as possible.Gruden reiterated that he hopes the Raiders stay put next season and that he gets emotional enough about the prospect of leaving that he doesn’t “want to start crying about a stadium.”“It’s a real football stadium,” Gruden said, via ESPN.com. “It’s dirt, grass, it’s got tradition. It’s where some of the best games in the history of football have been played. It’s where some of the best players in the history of the world have played football games.”Gruden suggested the team will “sauce up a video” for players to watch the night before they face the Broncos in order to share the tradition they will be bringing to an end on Monday or in a year from now. ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders placed right tackle Donald Penn on injured reserve with a groin injury Wednesday.A three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman, Penn was injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s 45-42 overtime win against the Cleveland Browns. Penn limped off the field, returned briefly for a handful of plays then went to the sideline for good.Raiders coach Jon Gruden said the team is hopeful of getting Penn back later this season.“Obviously, I love Donald so I’ll miss him for however long that is,” quarterback Derek Carr said. “Donald gave me that protection.”Brandon Parker, Oakland’s third-round draft pick, replaced Penn against the Browns and is expected to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Parker missed time in training camp with an ankle injury and was inactive in Week 3.“He’s back Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , he’s healthy and he played pretty good when he got in there and played,” Gruden said. “This will be a great opportunity for him.”Parker was a three-time FCS All-American left tackle while starting 48 consecutive games at North Carolina A&T. He was shifted to right tackle with Oakland after the Raiders used the 15th overall pick in this year’s draft on UCLA’s Kolton Miller.Miller’s arrival was also the reason the Raiders moved Penn to the right side. Oakland’s first-round pick has been starting at left tackle since the preseason.With Parker now in the lineup, the Raiders will be starting two rookies for the first time since at least the 1970 merger, according to Elias Sports Bureau.Carr, who has been sacked three times in each of Oakland’s previous two games, doesn’t seem concerned. He called Parker one of the smartest rookies he has played with.“With Brandon, everyone knows how we feel about him around here,” Carr said. “I’m sure he had a couple plays as a rookie that he’d want back but you live with that. He’s tough, he’s very intelligent so crazy looks and things like that aren’t going to mess with him.“Kolton’s awesome, he’s a stud. You don’t feel like you have two rookies because they’re so talented but at the end of the day they are. It’s something we have to do a good job of helping those guys out.”teams and wound up playing 57 snaps at right tackle.Each time he went to the sidelines, Parker said Penn was there to greet him and discuss the plays.“I wish it could have went better but I always expect the best out of myself,” Parker said. “The sack at the end was completely my fault. Just a missed protection read.”Penn was the Raiders’ starting left tackle from 2014-2017. He started 170 consecutive games before suffering an injury to his right foot in Week 15 last season.The 35-year-old signed a two-year extension last season after holding out early in training camp.
