The Raiders aren’t sure whether they’ll have their starting quarterback and starting running back on Sunday against the Dolphins.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden said today that quarterback Derek Carr had an MRI on his ankle and that Carr is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Carr went down during Sunday’s game against the Steelers in what initially looked like it could be a serious injury, but he ended up not missing a play.

Gruden also called running back Josh Jacobs “very questionable.” Jacobs suffered ankle and toe injuries in Week One against the Ravens and did not play Sunday against the Steelers.

The 2-0 Raiders are four-point favorites against the 1-1 Dolphins, who have a quarterback injury of their own to deal with after Tua Tagovailoa hurt his ribs on Sunday.

Raiders will release Rodney Hudson as Jon Gruden moves on to Plan C – The Athletic

Leave a comment

Well, the Raiders are officially on to Plan C.

The decision Tuesday to cut center Rodney Hudson — not officially, but it’s a done deal, according to sources — signals a stark change in the team’s philosophy as it shifts from building around an expensive, veteran offensive line to spreading out the assets over the whole roster.

While the timing and speed with which the move came down was surprising, there were definitely warning signs. The trade of right tackle Trent Brown, the hard-line stance with guard Gabe Jackson, cutting Richie Incognito … and there have been loud whispers for a while about Hudson’s frustration with the Raiders only having one winning season in his six with them.
