The Facts: The Raiders traded a third-round pick for Bryant in April. Nothing will be given to him, HC Jon Gruden said Saturday. “He’s got to get out here and play better,” Gruden said. “He’s in a competitive situation. Right now, a lot of the other receivers have had a nice camp. He’s just got to learn the offense. He’s got to stay out here. He’s had some illnesses. He’s got to get on the field. He’s got to master the offense and become more versatile, and that’s the key to making this team better.”

Diehards Line: According to Review-Journal staffer Michael Gehlken, Bryant has flashed his size and speed in training camp, the combo on display Friday when he caught a deep pass behind cornerback Rashaan Melvin, albeit after trailing out of bounds. That appears not enough, as Gruden wants to see more scheme versatility and consistency. Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson are solidified as the Raiders’ starters at the position. Behind them, Ryan Switzer continues to impress in the slot and as a punt returner. Johnny Holton and Dwayne Harris are strong special teamers. Wide receiver Marcell Ateman, a rookie seventh-round pick, is surging and could prove indispensable with a strong preseason. Seth Roberts’ salary is guaranteed, though that might not be enough to fend off Ryan Switzer. Holton might be able to run with Bryant, but he doesn’t have comparable size or ball skills. Ateman might have similar size, but he doesn’t possess the speed. ... In other words, Gruden's desire to get Bryant rolling is understandable.
