Raiders
Raiders’ first-round S Karl Joseph said his knee is not yet completely healthy.
“It was a good break,” Joseph said, via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. “The knee’s still not completely 100 percent yet so [I was] just taking a day off to kind of let it rest. Not trying to beat myself up too bad before the season starts.”
It’s worth mentioning that Joseph has been practicing with the first team throughout the offseason.
