Today the Raiders got their first bit of good news on the injury front since the before the season opener. At the end of that season opener, they lost center Andre James to a concussion. One severe enough that he was taken by ambulance to a local hospital following the game.
As of week two James had still not passed the concussion protocol and thus missed their home opener last Sunday. But today, he cleared a big hurdle in the protocol and has returned to practice.
