    With Denarius Moore having missed most of training camp and Jacoby Ford out for the last 10 days, quarterback Carson Palmer is concerned about being on the same page with two of his most explosive wide receivers when the regular season opens Sept. 10, Steve Corkran of Bayareanewsgroup.com reports.

    "We need a ton of work together," Palmer said Monday as the Raiders returned to the team facility for practice. "You can never get enough work with a guy, even if he's played every rep and you've played every rep.

    "When they're back, it's not easy to get up off the couch, or a walking boot, or off crutches and show up and play."

    Moore and Ford both sat out practice Monday, probably won't practice Tuesday and are unlikely to face the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Final cuts are made the following day, and then the Raiders begin preparation in earnest to start the regular season at home before a Monday night television audience against the San Diego Chargers.

    "There's going to be a little bit of a process of getting their legs back and their conditioning back, but also their minds and bodies to the speed of the game to get caught up with everything," Palmer said.
