Injury-plagued WR Schilens has knee scoped
Chaz Schilens - WR - Oakland Raiders

Raiders WR Chaz Schilens is out indefinitely after having his troublesome knee scoped on Tuesday.
Scratch him off your cheatsheet and give Louis Murphy a nice bump; Schilens probably isn't going to play before midseason while also trying to get his twice-surgically repaired foot back into playing shape. We can't really say it's a blow to the Raiders' offense because Schilens has hardly played to this point in his three-year career. Murphy and Darrius Heyward-Bey will be the Opening Day starting wideouts. Zach Miller is a sleeper to lead all tight ends in targets.
