Raiders' Menelik Watson: Optimistic for Week 3

The Raiders are optimistic that Watson (groin) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Watson was a non-participant in practice last week after sustaining a groin injury in the season-opener, which resulted in his absence in Week 2. However, he was put through a thorough pre-game workout, which has led to the team's optimism regarding his status.
