ALAMEDA – Raiders left tackle Donald Penn missed training camp holding out for a new, more lucrative contract. He missed Tuesday’s practice, the first back at the team’s training facility.
His protest began 26 days ago. The regular season is 19 days away.
Penn has worked out with top trainers and private offensive line coaches while away from the team, but still needs time to get back in the flow.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday that Penn is expected back this week. He wasn’t there for the first of three sessions when the Raiders will focus on the third preseason game at Dallas.
