Eagles game is the early game and the Raiders the late one on the NFL Network tonight.

I think McGuffie was fortunate to be drafted by the Raiders. They have a lot of competitive roster spots open, and for a 'tweener RB/WR like McGuffie, that improves his chances of making the team. McGuffie is rather like Reggie Bush: clearly a skilled offensive player, but it's not clear where to put him. A good veteran team might not have space for McGuffie, but the current Raiders have needs galore.

Any news re: Taylor Cook?

No, but I read that Luke Willson will be starting at TE for the Seahawks in their preseason opener...

I did not see any reported receptions for Dillard with Arizona.

Thor had one reception and a very nice special teams tackle for the Eagles.

Sam had a nice tackle on special teams. He tweeted about it being something he would never forget.
