FROM THE SAN JOSE PRESS DEMOCANT (he, he, I mean Democrat)

Injuries sideline 4 starters


November 3, 2000

THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

ALAMEDA -- Raiders coach Jon Gruden is prepared to go into Sunday's crucial AFC contest with arch-rival Kansas City without four of his starters, including his entire backfield.


Raiders halfback Tyrone Wheatley and fullback Jon Ritchie, as well as left tackle Matt Stinchcomb and defensive end Lance Johnstone are all, in Gruden's mind, very doubtful. Wheatley has a high ankle sprain, and Ritchie has a strained right calf. Stinchcomb has a second-degree sprain of the right knee and Johnstone has a groin injury.


"If today is any indication, it doesn't look like we'll have any of those four players," Gruden said. None of the four practiced Thursday.


The Raiders will start Zack Crockett at fullback, Napoleon Kaufman at halfback, Barry Sims at tackle and Regan Upshaw at defensive end.


"You're not going to see us crying about who we don't have," Upshaw said. "This is a big game for us, and we've got to get it done."


Gruden said the offensive scheme won't change much.


"Obviously there's different plays and different points you might emphasize for different types of guys. But there won't be dramatic changes in our style," he said.<P>

DE Lance Johnstone groin Out
T Matt Stinchcomb knee/shoulder Doubtful
S Johnnie Harris ankle Questionable
WR Jerry Porter hamstring Questionable
RB John Ritchie calf Questionable
RB Tyrone Wheatley ankle Questionable
S Eric Johnson shoulder Probable
WR Andre Rison toe Probable
