OAK @ TENN
Line Open with Tenn -4 Und/Over 34
So far $ on both side very much even and 68% on Over. Line move up from 34 to 35.
QB Rotation:
Oakland Raiders - QB Rotation: JaMarcus Russell, Andrew Walter, Marques Tuiasosopo, rookie Sam Keller.
Offensive line concerns: New left tackle Kwame Harris is still learning the new blocking scheme; Returning right tackle Cornell Grzeen struggled to contain edge rusher Derrick Burgess in practice, while second-year tackle Mario Henderson remains a work in progress.
Nose tackle hurting: NT Gerard Warren (thigh) and backup Terdell Sands (knee) ailing.
Secondary dinged up. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall will get a third opinion on his injured right hand. Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has a swollen right foot after injuring it doing backpedaling drills. X-rays were negative Wednesday. Stanford Routt will get the start if Hall can't go, Kiffin said.
The Raiders signed veteran strong safety Adam Archuleta on Monday and promptly moved him to strongside linebacker, where he will compete for the starting job over the next month.
Kicker Sebastian Janikowski is doubtful for Friday's exhibition game at Tennessee. He "tweaked" his left hamstring. Pro Bowl punter Shane Lechler will be out a week with a quad injury. Kiffin said Lechler will be replaced by Glenn Pakulak.
Tennessee Titans - QB Rotation: Vince Young, Kerry Collins, Ingle Martin, Paul Thompson.
Offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger returns to Tennessee after a two-year hiatus in Denver, replacing Norm Chow.
The Titans would like to see RB Chris Johnson play earlier in preseason games, and Jeff Fisher left open the possibility of the rookie starting Friday's game against the Raiders. Most of Johnson's playing time against the Rams came in the second quarter.
Secondary thin. Cornerback Nick Harper (concussion) and cornerback Cary Williams (knee) ailing. Harper won't play.
Titans Coach Jeff Fisher wants to know if his second-team defense is for real. He wants to know if the 76 yards it helped hold Rams running backs to Saturday was a fluke or an example of what's to come. "I'm really looking forward to watching our backups play," Fisher said. "They physically dominated the line of scrimmage a week ago, and I want to see if they can do that again, against another group."
