- Kubiak on McCoy and Hezekiah Masses' performance in Porter's absence: "I think obviously Zeke made some plays for us. Had a big tipped pass.

But we feel like we're gonna continue to rotate those guys through." · Quoting Sam Warren: Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Darien Porter's groin injury will be monitored throughout this week.

There's nothing guaranteed. I tell them you have to put someone in the position to say, 'How can I not play this guy? He does everything right.' And until that happens with everybody, competition is on every day."
