Silver and Black Report

Oakland Raiders defensive end Jay Richardson underwent successful surgery on his knee. On his twitter account, the former 5^th round draft choice out of Ohio St. posted:

I jus wanna thank the Lord, my family, and all my tweet peep and raider soldiers out there for all the prayer n support. Surgery went great!

With the depth along the defensive line and his inability to stand out due to injury this summer, it will be hard to see him making the final 53-man roster. Richardson is on his final year of his rookie contract, so a career campaign was anticipated by the end. If he makes the roster, it will be hard for him to crack the rotation especially if rookie Lamarr Houston and second year pro continue to shine, as they did in their first pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys.
