ALAMEDA -- Starting left tackle Kwame Harris is not practicing today, meaning "Super" Mario Henderson will likely start at left tackle when the Raiders play at Kansas City on Sunday.

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin will probably confirm that Henderson will be the left tackle later this afternoon.

Henderson hasn't played in an NFL game and was inactive for Monday's loss to Denver. Coaches have noted he's struggled with his confidence -- not exactly good when you're protecting JaMarcus Russell's blindside.

But Kiffin said yesterday that Henderson had a good week of practice.
