PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : RAIDERS : McGlockton Ready to Start Opener

After sitting out the final three exhibition games, defensive tackle Chester McGlockton will play Monday night in the Raiders’ opener against the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park.

McGlockton, the Raiders’ No. 1 selection in the 1992 draft from Clemson, re-injured his right fibula against the Dallas Cowboys in the second exhibition game.

In the last two seasons, the Raiders are 17-9 when McGlockton plays, 1-7 when he doesn’t.

Safety Derrick Hoskins, who injured a knee in the final exhibition game against the Houston Oilers, practiced this week and also will play against the 49ers, lining up mainly against tight end Brent Jones.

“The 49ers execute very well with conservative plays like slants and outs,” Hoskins said. “The thing about (Jones) is that he’s a good blocker who runs good routes, and they get him the ball a lot.”
