Mario has announced that he has been cleared to return to football after a neck injury sidelined his rookie season in week fifteen last year.
Derek Carr breaks into the top 100 for the 2015 season at number 100. I would have thought he’d be higher but there you go.
Watch the video here.
Watch Gruden work with Connor Cook including a special appearance by new Raider Bruce Irvin.

Fox Sports is reporting that Clive Walford will miss spring practises following an ATV accident. It is uncertain when the accident took place but Walford is now weeks removed from the surgery resulting from it.
This likely ends the rumours that the Raiders were interested in trading Mychal Rivera.
With Mark Davis pledging $500 million toward a new stadium in Las Vegas if the rest of the funding is ultimately approved by the Nevada State Legislature, it looks like the Raiders are committing to LV as their future home (pending league approval).
Vegas seems like the only bet the Raiders have, with L.A. being blocked off by the league and Oakland seemingly uninterested in keeping Silver and Black.
Personally, I just want the team to have a settled stadium situation and a team that is competing for the playoffs and the Superbowl every year. The team is coming around, this news about LV seems to say the stadium situation likely will resolve soon too.
It comes as no surprise that the Raiders choose not to pick up the 5th year option on D.J.Hayden’s rookie contract. Hayden has failed to live up to the first round pick that the Raiders used on him.
