practicing fully to prepare for that moment. >> i feel very, you know, very fortunate that i'm in the position i'm in. my knee feels good. i feel good going into it. i think mentally i'm in a good spot and now we got to go perform. that's what it's about. >> yeah, that is what it's all about from one acl to another. mckinnon tore his acl last year. he's yet to take a real snap as a niner and unclear when that's going to happen. he had a flairup in his knee. he's been placed on the physically unable to perform list. new acquisition coleman along with matt figured to get the bulk of the work while mckinnon heals up again. >> antonio brown had what is believed to be a minor set back, that's what we're told and hoping heading into his first camp with the raiders placed on the non-football injury list but that did not stop him from arriving in napa in style via hot air balloon.

change rapidly at this point. the giants might be buyers but we have to see how it plays out. >> antonio brown, can we see soon a camp coming out, make raiders great again? >> you got that. >> i was trying to let it slide.
