Missing the time now will not be the issue. Just how debilitating theinjury is will be a major concern throughout the season, however.

Asomugha is the top bump-and-run cornerback in the league. If hiswrist is bothering him, it's going to be more challenging for Asomughato grab wide receivers at the line of scrimmage.

Asomugha is the least of the Raiders' concerns after their drearyweekend against the Saints -- just the latest one.
