As you may have heard Heyward-Bey and had some hamstring troubles. He first injured in the beginning of OTAs and was out for a good 2 weeks or so. And unfortunately he aggravated his hamstring once again on the 17th, he then left the field with a trainer and did not return to practice. This seems to be somewhat of a set-back as far as progress goes. I dont know how long the injury will keep him sidelined, hopefully he will be able to participate at JMarcs passing camp.  In other bad news Mike Mitchell has also missed the final days of OTAs and Mini camp because of a sore hamstring. He didnt get to participate in many OTAs because of an NFL rule that states he cannot participate before his classes at Ohio University are finished.

In my opinion I'm just a little worried that this hamstring on Heyward-Bey may linger and effect his progress. But hopefully his hamstring will be healthy by the end of June for Training Camp. I think Mike Mitchell will be fine, he just had some soreness and hopefully he can learn somethings during the next few weeks.

Greg Ellis has been working with the 1st team in Derrick Burgess' spot. I think Burgess might be gone, I would like to keep him and see both Ellis and Burgess as our ends, but on the other hand that would cut into Trevor Scott and Jay Richardson;s playing time and i think they need to get on the field. I havent heard any news of Burgess at OTAs or mandatory minicamp which makes me feel like he doesnt wanna be here. I know hes a vet but come one MANTADORY mini camp? If we can get a good deal for him, I think we should do it.

Hopefully everything works out for the best I'm looking forward to this season GO RAIDERS!!!
