Silver and Black Report

MIAMI, FL – The Oakland Raiders have designated CB Michael Waddell, FB Jason Davis, DE Derrick Burgess, LB Ricky Brown, C Jake Grove, T James Marten, WR Javon Walker and QB Andrew Walter (3^rd QB) as inactive players for today’s game versus the Miami Dolphins.

For the home team, WR Ernest Wilford, CB Joey Thomas, G Shawn Murphy, Lionel Dotson, T Nate Garner, TE Joey Haynos, DE Rodrique Wright and QB John Beck (3^rd QB) will be inactive.

Line up changes are the following:

• #87 Ashley Lelie will start at WR for the injured Walker.
• #71 John Wade will start at Center for Grove.
• #58 Kalimba Edwards will start again at DE for Burgess. Sam Williams will start for Brown.

 DB Justin Miller, picked up from waivers earlier in the week will wear #22. 

• Wide receiver Jonathan Holland continued with his woes, dropping another toss his way. The bullet sideline pass came straight at him and he even got both hands up to make the catch. The ball somehow passed through both hands and hit him squarely in the facemask hard enough to hear the impact from across the field.
