Raiders-Dolphins injury report: P.J. Hall expected to miss another game

Share

ALAMEDA – The Raiders will likely play another game without P.J. Hall. The second-round defensive tackle sprained an ankle early in the regular-season opener and hasn’t practiced since.

Head coach Jon Gruden doesn’t expect Hall to be available for Sunday against the host Miami Dolphins.

“I doubt it,” he said Monday. “I don’t think so. Keeping my fingers crossed.”

That’s a blow to a Raiders defensive line that needs help rushing the passer. He’s tough to block up front, with a knack for pushing the pocket back on the interior.

The Raiders will go with Maurice Hurst and recent signings Clinton McDonald and Johnathn Hankins on the inside. Brian Price was waived on Tuesday morning.

The Raiders should get Dwayne Harris back in the mix returning punts and kickoff. He missed the Broncos game with a foot injury. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, and made an acrobatic catch during a portion open to the media.

Also, the Raiders signed defensive tackle Gabe Wright to their practice squad. There was an open spot after Shilique Calhoun was promoted to the 53-man roster.
