Rashid Shaheed

Rashid Shaheed (hip) said he expects to play Sunday vs. the Bucs.

Shaheed missed Wednesday’s practice but was back for a limited session on Thursday. “I’ll be all good,” Shaheed said. “Just trying to take care of this hip. By the time game time comes around I’ll be alright.” This is an instance where it seems like we can take the player at their word. The bigger problem for Shaheed is the insertion of rookie Spencer Rattler under center with Derek Carr week to week with an oblique issue. An already volatile player will now be even moreso, knocking Shaheed out of the top 40 after he had been pushing up the ranks in recent weeks.
