Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that rookie cornerback D.J. Hayden is in a local hospital as a result of an abdominal issue, Steve Corkran of Bayareanewsgroup reports. Hayden is expected to miss the remainder of the Raiders offseason workouts and practices, but he should be ready to go again when training camp begins in late July. Allen said he isn’t sure whether there’s any correlation between Hayden’s current situation and the ruptured vein Hayden suffered last November during a practice at the University of Houston. “We can’t rule that out, obviously, but right now I don’t know exactly what the correlation is to it,†Allen said. “But we don’t anticipate it being an issue.†Hayden underwent surgery to repair the ruptured vena cava, which supplies blood to the heart from the lower body. He was cleared by doctors to resume football activities last month after surviving an injury that is 95 percent fatal, by some accounts. Source: The Redzone
