| Oakland, CA (Sportsbooks) - The Oakland Raiders signed veteran cornerback Lito Sheppard to a contract Monday. Sheppard spent time in the Raiders training camp this year and recorded three tackles in the preseason finale against the Seahawks before being cut prior to Week 1. The Raiders' secondary has been hampered by injuries to cornerbacks Chris Johnson (groin, hamstring) and Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring), who have not played since Weeks 3 and 4, respectively. Sheppard, 30, has recorded 302 tackles and 19 int |

He also lost to the Bills while in charge of the Oakland Raiders in 1988. Gailey has never lost in four career clashes with Washington, all of which came during his two-year stint as the Dallas' head coach from 1998-99. He was defeated in his only head-to-head bout with Shanahan to date, though, when the Broncos |

It will be interesting to see if those emotions will be swayed now that quarterback Jason Campbell is expected to miss significant time with a broken collarbone. "I'm not going to let this team blink," said Jackson. "We're going to miss Jason for a while. We'll continue to press forward and get better." Jackson wasn't lying either, as the Raiders made a big move before Tuesday's |
