    Raider new cornerback Ron Bartell is expected to be the number one corner on this team. But through the first week of practices, he has been out with a hamstring injury. Today the Raiders reported that he has passed his physical and will resume practicing. As part of the new CBA, when player is placed on the non-football injury list, once he is cleared to practice, he must wait three days before being able to practice fully. "From my understanding I can do individual drills." Said Bartell. "I'll be able to wear shoulder pads, shells and shorts. I can't get in full contact. I guess I'll go through the drills, the walkthrough aspect of it, then in the live periods they'll probably hold me out. It's only a couple of days. I'm just excited just to be able to be back and feel healthy again."
