NAPA -- The Raiders just finished up the last practice of training camp here at the Napa Valley Marriott.
Tonight's practice featured offense and defense in preparation for Friday night's exhibition game at Tennessee. The team leaves tomorrow for Nashville.
Some quick hits:
*The Raiders signed P Glenn Pakulak to fill in for the injured Shane Lechler.
Pakulak was a backup punter during training camp in 2006.
LB Ed Hartwell was cut to make room on the roster.
*RB Adimchinobe Echemandu was not at practice. He's in Los Angeles to take his citizenship test and will meet the team in Nashville.
*James Lofton is extremely detailed in his coaching. He made rookie WR Chaz Schilens run a route three times and still pulled him aside to discuss his footwork.
*Even against the scout team, there were times the passing game didn't look crisp. CB Nick Sanchez picked off a pass that bounced of WR Drew Carter's hands.
*RB Darren McFadden had to run a lap for a false start.
*S Tyvon Branch was at practice but didn't participate. He'll play Friday wearing a cast after surgery on his broken thumb yesterday.
Coach Lane Kiffin said the effects of medication kept Branch in this morning.
*TE Tony Stewart was at practice in a walking boot.
*RB Justin Fargas had the night off as did WRs Javon Walker and Ronald Curry.
*LT Kwame Harris (sore shoulder) practiced.
