The Steelers began their film study for Oakland on Wednesday, but it’s not going to be easy for the team’s wide receivers to prepare for the Raiders corners as injuries have hit them hard there.
The Raiders lost starting left corner Ron Bartell week one against San Diego to a broken shoulder blade, that will keep him sidelined for at least seven weeks. Last week right cornerback Shawntae Spencer sprained his right foot against the Miami Dolphins, missing practice on Wednesday and he could be sidelined this week as well.
“It’s hard to talk about them because you don’t know who is playing because a lot of guys are hurt,” said wide receiver Mike Wallace. “We watched some film, but I don’t think it’s going to be the same guys we watched on film who are going to be playing in the game.
“You don’t know who is playing, who is going to come back. There are different guys. You are watching film but they aren’t the guys you are going against.”
