NAPA — Richie Incognito didn’t look or sound unhinged. He was forthright, direct and sounded greatly appreciative of a last chance afforded by general manager Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden.
“I think for so many years I’ve just done this thing where I grit my teeth and work hard, just kind of grind through this,” Incognito said Saturday following the Raiders’ first training camp practice. “You’ve obviously seen I’ve had my setbacks and some dark days. But I’m focusing on these positive days and just building some momentum rolling into the season.”
That momentum will be interrupted by a two-game suspension to start the season for being in violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
