PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : RAIDERS : Allen Put on Injured Reserve List

The Raiders put running back Marcus Allen on injured reserve Wednesday because of the right knee injury he suffered in Sunday’s 47-17 loss to the Houston Oilers.

Allen, who damaged the posterior cruciate ligament while making a cut on the artificial surface in the Astrodome, will be out a minimum of four weeks and is not eligible to return until the Raiders’ Oct. 6 home game against the San Diego Chargers.

Filling Allen’s spot on the roster is running back Doug Lloyd, who was activated from the team’s developmental squad.

Defensive back Marcus Wilson, released at the 60-man roster cut, has taken Lloyd’s position on the practice squad.

Eddie Anderson, the Raiders’ starting free safety, did not practice because of a groin pull suffered in Sunday’s game.

“He’s getting better every day,” Coach Art Shell said. “Hopefully, he’s going to play.”

Guard Max Montoya, who missed the opener with a groin pull, practiced and is expected to start Sunday against the Denver Broncos at the Coliseum.

Defensive end Mike Wise, placed on the Raiders’ exempt/left camp list in August after he left the team twice without permission, had a tryout Wednesday with the Houston Oilers.

Wise watched the Oilers’ practice in street clothes, but the team decided not to sign him. Rather than releasing him outright, the Raiders are apparently shopping Wise around the league in the hope of landing a draft choice in exchange.

Punter Jeff Gossett, who previously wore No. 6, has changed to No. 7, formerly worn by quarterback Steve Beuerlein. . . . Tight end Mike Dyal and offensive tackle Joel Patten returned to practice. Both players are on the physically unable to perform list because of knee injuries and must miss a minimum of six regular-season games. . . . The Raiders had 17 players 30 years or older on their opening-day roster, most in the NFL. . . . After one week, the Raiders rank 26th in the NFL on defense and 15th on offense.
