Strong safety Tyvon Branch, who injured a shoulder in Sunday’s loss at Indianapolis, was an observer at practice Wednesday as the Raiders began preparations for their home opener against Jacksonville. Two other projected starters who did not play in Oakland’s opener against the Colts – rookie left tackle Menelik Watson (knee) and tight end David Ausberry (shoulder) – were also still out and did not participate.
Also, place-kicker Sebastian Janikowski (right calf) sat out practice to rest his right (non-kicking) calf.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said he had no update on the condition of Watson, the team’s second-round draft choice, other than he did not practice, and that holding Janikowski out was a precautionary measure.
