My narrative podcast "Between the Lines," is out now on @TheAthletic Football Show feed. The series depicts the Black experience in the NFL, examines how the league has failed us and explores what could be next. My story detailing the project's origin: theathletic.com/4170706/2023/0…
Carroll when asked later if he thinks a message was sent about the #Raiders' standard moving forward: “I hope so. We have extremely high expectations. ... You’re either going for it or you’re not, and we’re going for it. ... These guys are onboard. They get it.”
Carroll: “It took a long time to make our decision. ... We’re keeping it really clear with what we said — I think there was no clear path to his return. So, we just had to move on.”

#Raiders HC Pete Carroll said they spent a lot of time deliberating how to handle things with DT Christian Wilkins. They ultimately moved on because they didn't believe there was a path for him to return to play.

Carroll said Pratt's hamstring is tight, so they held him out for precautionary reasons.
#Raiders LB Germaine Pratt is on the field but hasn't been participating in drills today. Everybody else is practicing.

Then Smith hit Michael Mayer over the middle for another TD
During redzone drills, Smith found Tre Tucker on a corner route in the back of the end zone for a TD. Nice response.
Geno Smith tried to hit Brock Bowers on an out route, but threw it late and Lonnie Johnson picked him off. Would've been a pick 6.

#Raiders back for Day 3. They take tomorrow off and then come back for practice again Sunday.

The next step is a hearing, but it hasn't been scheduled yet.
NFLPA had 50 days to file a grievance on behalf of Christian Wilkins after the Raiders voided $35.25 million worth of guaranteed money in his contract on June 4 — $8 million for this year, $27.25 million for next year. The grievance was filed this morning. A legal battle awaits.
During the offseason, the #Raiders determined that DT Christian Wilkins needed another procedure in order for his injured left foot to heal, per source. Wilkins disagreed, sparking a dispute that ultimately led to his release today 🔗⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/65145…
After speaking with a few teams tonight, it sounds like the next step for Christian Wilkins will be taking visits and undergoing physicals with potential suitors. One HC emphasized “He’s not healthy enough to play for the Raiders… Something must not be right”
