    Raiders weakside linebacker told Paul Gutierrez of CSNCalifornia.com on Saturday he has received stem-cell treatments on both both knees, with bone marrow from his hips, and that he is feeling much better. "It's the only thing that's helping me recover," Curry said after practice Saturday. "Without it, I'd be a lost cause. For sure. I'm just able to do things that I wasn't able to quite do in OTAs and minicamps when I was trying to fight through what I thought was just regular soreness or tendinitis. But it's a great procedure. Simple, fast, and I'm just excited about being able to bounce back as quick as I am." Curry, though, said he could not remember when he had the procedure, but said it was the first time he had seen a doctor for a football-related injury. "My goal is to get healthy and just go out there and be violent, be fast, be a pain in the offense's butt and whatever I have to do on the defense, do it. And do it full speed. I can't do that until my body says it's ready."
