ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders will be without tight end Kevin Boss for their season-opener at Denver on Monday night. Boss was ruled out of the game Saturday because of a knee strain he suffered against San Francisco in the preseason on Aug. 20 . He appeared to make some progress shortly after getting hurt but hasn't returned to practice since then. Wide receiver Louis Murphy (sports hernia) and backup safety Mike Mitchell (knee) have also been ruled out for Oakland.Copyright © 2005 Th |

| Oakland, CA (MySportsbook) - Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor will reportedly appeal his five-game suspension imposed by the NFL, making a reverse course from what he said during the preseason. Numerous media sources indicate Pryor, who was chosen by the Raiders out of Ohio State in the supplemental draft and then signed a four-year contract, has decided to appeal. Before being drafted and during his pro workout day, Pryor said he would not appeal the penalty. Selected with the 18th pick of the th |

With the defensive line fortified, the team's defensive backs should benefit, and the return of three starters there is huge. With Terrelle Pryor now suiting up for the NFL's Oakland Raiders, the keys to Ohio State's offense have been turned over to senior Joe Bauserman. Pryor's primary backup the last two years, Bauserman has completed just 25-of-47 passes for 320 yards with two TDs and an INT in his career. A former walk-on who spent |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - Hue Jackson revitalized the Oakland Raiders offense as coordinator in his first season with the team. Now that he has been promoted to head coach, Jackson's biggest worry is fixing a defense that had been one the team's strengths.

Three exhibition losses later, the Raiders have to |
