ALAMEDA – Here’s the pertinent lineup information per Lane Kiffin after today’s practice.
Dominic Rhodes will start at running back. Hiram Eugene will start at free safety.
Rhodes and LaMont Jordan were going to share carries in Jacksonville, but Jordan’s pass blocking cost him time, again.
“LaMont was in on a play where a guy came through and got to the quarterback, and LaMont didn’t play much after that,” Kiffin said. “But Dominic played extremely well, and there were some other situations where LaMont would have been in that didn’t happen to come up as well.”
Linebacker Jon Alston (calf) still has not practiced this week. Receiver Tim Dwight (hamstring) will be a game-time decision.
Johnnie Lee Higgins will return punts assuming Dwight doesn’t play. Alston plays in a few packages on defense and special teams, but Kiffin said the team wouldn’t be limited much if Alston couldn’t play.
