Per a report on NFL Radio on Sirius, Jerry Porter "tweaked" his hammy in yesterday's afternoon practice and is scheduled for an MRI in the next day or 2.

Agreed. ALWAYS tricky. A "tweak" is one thing, but if they are sending him for an MRI, I doubt it is just a "tweak". If it does end up being a little more than that, look for him to be bothered by it all year. The same thing happened to Urlacher last year before the start of the season.
Granted I'm older and fatter than Porter, but last time I "tweaked" my hamstring, I didn't do anything on it for 3 weeks besides hobble around slowly. Then when it finally felt "good" and I tried to do something on it I "re-tweaked" it and was laid up another month. There's just no telling how long something like that will last and how well healed it is when you think it's ok to get back on it. Bad situation for Porter. Good for Curry.

Yeah, getting an MRI for it makes it sound like more than a tweeking to me. I hope that the Raiders are just being cautious.
I think, therefore I am. I think fantasy, therefore I am unreal?
