NAPA — With the Raiders scaling back Monday’s practice to a no-access walkthrough, it’s a good time to field some questions with one exhibition game in the books:
Is AB a tumor growing on the side of the organizations neck? (@temkahn)
Not a fan of that analogy, but it’s too early for that. Yes, Antonio Brown has missed a lot of time and is slowing Jon Gruden’s plan of building an offense around him. But they’ve played only one exhibition game, and Brown wasn’t going to play anyway. Reading between the lines, Gruden’s public support for Brown Saturday night could be an indication Brown will be here soon.
