The Facts:
Schilens, projected to be one of the Raiders' top two WRs this season, broke a bone in his left foot while running a route during Tuesday's practice. HC Tom Cable didn't provide a timeline for when Schilens might return, but such an injury would likely sideline Schilens at least a month.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Schilens said he didn't know whether he would need a cast or walking boot. He also didn't rule out playing in the team's season opener Sept. 14 against San Diego -- although he admitted it would take a miracle. ... Meanwhile, with Schilens out, the Raiders' receiving corps is in limbo and the depth gone. With rookie Darrius Heyward-Bey continuing to have problems catching the ball, Johnnie Lee Higgins appears to be the most viable weapon.
