ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders are hoping to have cornerback Sean Smith back in the lineup for Mondays game in Mexico City against the Houston Texans.Smith made it through a third consecutive day of practice Saturday and continues to wear a protective sling on his left shoulder while being listed as questionable on the teams medical report.Coach Jack Del Rio, who rarely discusses injuries in detail, declined to say whether Smith would play but sounded optimistic.Our guys that are questionable, we had about six of them, Im hoping they can all play, Del Rio said. Well just see how it goes.That list includes wide receiver Amari Cooper and running back Latavius Murray, along with offensive linemen Rodney Hudson and Kelechi Osemele. All four have been limited in practice this week.Defensive tackle Stacy McGee, who is nursing an ankle injury, joins Smith as the only defensive players on the injury list.Smith has not played since suffering a shoulder injury on the second play of the game against Tampa Bay on Oct. 30. Although the injury wasnt serious, Smith -- one of the Raiders top free-agent acquisitions after signing a $38 million, four-year deal -- was held out of Oaklands Week 9 win over Denver.With the Raiders on a bye last week, Smith will have had three weeks of rest by the time of Monday nights kickoff.When you talk about bye week, midseason is always ideal for any football team, Smith said. Halfway to take a break and now we can knock out the other half.Smith rejoins a secondary that struggled early in the season but has played better in recent weeks.After giving up an average of 338 passing yards through the first five weeks, the Raiders have allowed only one quarterback -- Denvers Trevor Siemian -- to throw for more than 240 yards in the past four games.Texans QB Brock Osweiler passed for just 255 yards total in the last two games combined and has been held under 200 yards five times.Smith said he is focusing more on Houston offensive coordinator George Godseys play-calling than he is on Osweilers low numbers.I personally dont like to let the quarterback dictate how Im going to attack the game, Smith said. For me, its playing against the offensive coordinator. The only thing I can get from a quarterback is if he likes to stare down his targets, does he have a quick release or slow release? Other than that youre kind of playing against the coordinator.Regardless of who the receiver or quarterback is, somebody else is controlling them. If I can understand how that guy likes to think, his favorite concepts, thats the key.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLBrian Dawkins Eagles Jersey .

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

The buyout will make Grabovski an unrestricted free agent as of Friday at noon ET. The Leafs have already used their other non-compliance buyout on defenceman Mike Komisarek. Grabovski, 29, had four years remaining on his $27.5-million contract, which he signed in March 2012. Acquired in 2008 from Montreal, the Leafs had high hopes for Grabovski. But he struggled this season, recording just nine goals and seven assists in 48 games.dddddddddddd. "This was not an easy decision to make as Mikhail made numerous contributions to our hockey club," Leafs general manager Dave Nonis said in a statement. "This is a roster move that will give us salary cap flexibility moving forward." The move will free up $5.5 million of cap space for the Leafs. In 367 career games, Grabovski has 94 goals and 123 assists. ' ' '
