The Facts:
Russell was held out of all team drills during the evening practice Tuesday after banging his elbow off the helmet of teammate Darren McFadden earlier in the day. Russell complained of stiffness in his elbow after warming up and making a few throws early during the night session. "We didn't foresee it being an issue because when we checked him out after (the morning) practice he was fine," HC Lane Kiffin said. "But he came out and warmed up, threw the ball and it just stiffened up a little bit on him."

The coach added: "If we were playing a game he could have very easily played, so I don't foresee it being an issue at all." Kiffin said he expects Russell to be able to practice when the Raiders hold an afternoon workout Wednesday. ... Russell can't afford to miss too many reps. Remember, he missed Oakland's entire camp and the preseason a year ago while he was locked in contract negotiations with the team. He played in three games as a rookie, starting the season finale against San Diego.
