ALAMEDA _ All those fans calling for Robert Gallery’s head on a platter, how do you like the possibility of starting Chad Slaughter at left tackle?
Gallery strained a calf muscle during warmups and did not finish practice, with Slaughter taking his place. The Raiders have not yet placed an official designation regarding Gallery’s injury _ not that it matters much.
Jake Grove was “doubtful'’ all last week _ meaning a 25 percent chance he would play. Grove then started, played the entire game.
Also leaving practice Wednesday with a calf injury was return specialist Chris Carr. If Carr can not play, ReShard Lee would handle kickoff returns and Tyrone Poole, a 34-year-old cornerback, would return punts.
Carr was spotted walking with a pronounced limp to his car well before practice had ended.
Poole is also in line to start at cornerback in place of Nnamdi Asomugha, who missed practice Wednesday with a sprained foot.
