The Oakland Raiders will play a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night, and quarterback Jeff Garcia, who started 71 games in five seasons with the 49ers, will be available for playing in the game, but it is unsure how long and what he’ll be able to do, regarding that he has just recovered from a calf injury.
The 39-year-old quarterback was sidelined for two weeks before he returned to the field. He did take part in the Raiders’ first two days of training camp, but was kept out of the team’s first donned pads by a sore left calf muscle. He returned just in time to take part in the joint workouts with the 49ers and worked with backup offense. Quarterback JaMarcus Russell took most of the starter’s work.
Coach Tom Cable expected Garcia to play in the second quarter, while starters will be used through the first half. So the former 49ers player would have some time to see 49ers fans reaction to his return. However, he knows well that he probably won’t get the reception while wearing raiders jersey from the San Francisco crowd he once did.
