The Facts:
There was concern that Russell could gain weight in the time [between] mini-camp and training camp but Russell weighed in at the same 269 when reporting to camp this week.
Reported by ESPN.com
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It was rumored that Russell's weight ballooned up to 300 pounds early in the offseason. It was an issue for much of the spring -- until Russell showed up to the Raiders' offseason program weighing 269 pounds. As ESPN.com's Bill Williamson suggests, Russell is never going to be slender but it's time for skeptics to give him a break and for fans not to worry about Russell's weight. He is in acceptable NFL playing shape.
