CSNCalifornia.comA thinned-out roster of Raiders will begin reporting to the Napa Marriott Wednesday for training camp -- only players under contract can participate -- and first-year head coach Hue Jackson will address the media for the first time since the NFL lockout lifted this week.GUTIERREZ: Raiders' top priorities entering camp
The previous two years, under Tom Cable, the Raiders began with four days of non-contact, two-a-day practices. Under Jackson, they will have just one practice per day for the first five days, beginning at 3:30 p.m. It is not known yet how much contact will be allowed immediately but Oakland opens its preseason schedule with an Aug. 11 home game against Arizona at the O.co Coliseum.
Unless there are sudden developments, the Raiders will begin camp without 17 unrestricted free agents -- among them, Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Jon Condo, Michael Huff, Ricky Brown, Khalif Barnes, Mario Henderson, Thomas Howard, Bruce Gradkowski. But restricted free agent running back Michael Bush is eligible to participate.GUTIERREZ: Ranking the Raiders' free agents
