ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Raiders are likely to be without starting right tackle Menelik Watson and a key backup for their home opener.Watson missed practice Friday because of a groin injury suffered early in Oaklands opening week win over New Orleans. Matt McCants, who replaced Watson briefly, went down with a knee injury and has been sidelined since.Both linemen are listed as doubtful on the Raiders injury report.Austin Howard, who was inactive against the Saints with an ankle injury suffered in the Raiders final preseason game, is expected to start in place of Watson. Howard started 13 games at right tackle in 2015 after playing right guard the previous season.Hes ready to go, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.The Raiders season-opening win took its toll on the offensive line.Watson and McCants injuries set off a domino effect that wound up with Donald Penn moving from left tackle to right guard, left guard Kelechi Osemele moving to left tackle and Jon Feliciano coming off the bench to plug the gap at left guard.Center Rodney Hudson and right guard Gabe Jackson also missed time this week with knee injuries but both made it through two consecutive days of practice and are questionable to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.Del Rio noted earlier this week that the situation in New Orleans had gotten so dire that the Raiders were prepared to use tight end Lee Smith if another injury to the front five had occurred.Oakland should be better prepared to handle things this week. Seventh-round draft pick Vadal Alexander, who was also inactive against the Saints, practiced at both guard and tackle during the preseason and is an option should more injuries occur.Were ready to adjust as we need to, Del Rio said. Weve got good depth, have a good coach working the group. Well be ready to roll.Despite all of the injuries and shuffling up front, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was not sacked and was hit only three times when dropping back to pass.Part of that was due to Penn and Osemele, who continued to play well after changing positions.Osemele, in particular, stood out and made a pivotal block that helped spring rookie running back Jaylen Richard free on his 75-yard touchdown. The 6-foot-5-inch, 330-pound was Oaklands prized free agent addition in the offseason after signing a five-year contract for more than $58 million.Hes a violent football player, Carr said. One of, if not the most, violent football players Ive ever been around, seen, played with, played against, all the above. You love for a guy like that to be protecting you. So, the run game and all that, it helps that but at the same time, I love that hes blocking for me too. It makes me feel safe.Game notesKR/RB Taiwan Jones (concussion) practiced for a second straight day and is questionable.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 97 Plus Black Orange Racer Pink Air Max Plus 97 .

What he can accomplish at 4 will become known in the next month at Del Mar.On Saturday, Dortmund is scheduled to have his first start of 2016 in the $200,000 San Diego Handicap at 1-1/16 miles, a prep for the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 20. Dortmunds return will be overshadowed by the comeback of California Chrome, the 2014 Horse of the Year, who has not raced since winning the $10 million Dubai World Cup in March.California Chrome will be favored and will be the sentimental choice of what is expected to be a large and enthusiastic crowd. Dortmund will have the role of primary spoiler in a small field.Dortmund has not raced since winning the Grade 3 Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar last November. Through the winter, Dortmund was sidelined by a foot injury, trainer Bob Baffert said. Dortmund was days away from a start in the $500,000 San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita in February when the foot problem forced him to skip the race.Dortmund was eventually turned out for more than a month before resuming workouts in late May. On Sunday, Dortmund worked six furlongs in 1:12 in company with a stablemate.Its all set, Baffert said. He was cruising.Shah, 54, has been in a similar situation with a top-class horse coming off a layoff. He won his richest race as an owner with Bayern in the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November 2014. Bayerns 4-year-old debut was postponed until May 2015 because of minor issues, and when the colt returned, he failed to win in five starts and was retired in the fall. In hindsight, Shah regrets the way the campaign was managed.ddddddddddddI wish we had given him time off after the Breeders Cup Classic, Shah said. Bob was trying to make the Dubai World Cup with him. He came up with small issues. Every horse needs a little break every so often.Shah, who lives in Virginia and spends much of the summer at Del Mar, runs the privately held information technology company CALNET, which provides support for American military and intelligence.He rates Bayern and Dortmund as the best horses he has owned since his involvement in racing began in the mid-2000s. Bayern helped give Shah his best year in 2014, when the stable earned $5,977,978. The figure fell to $2,345,130 in 2015 and was $515,878 through Sunday.Its been a dry run this year, he said while watching workouts last weekend. In this business, you have ups and downs.There have been positive signs in recent weeks. On July 10, Shah had two winners on the final day of the Santa Anita spring-summer meeting -- in a maiden race for 2-year-olds with Klimt and in an optional claimer with Power Jam, who set a track record of 1:01.71 for 5-1/2 furlongs.Klimt is a candidate for the $200,000 Best Pal Stakes here Aug. 13.Hopefully, as the distances get longer, hell get better, Shah said of Klimt.The San Diegos distance should not be an issue for Dortmund. He won the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby at 1-1/8 miles in April 2015 before he finished three lengths behind American Pharoah as the 4-1 second choice in the Kentucky Derby at 1-1/4 miles a month later. In the Native Diver, at 1-1/8 miles, Dortmund won by 4-1/4 lengths, his widest margin of victory in a stakes.Those performances give Shah hope that Dortmund can test California Chrome in the San Diego.I want Dortmund to come back running, he said. As long as we see the old Dortmund, it will be a fun race. ' ' '
