Former University of Maryland wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey is hurt again. The Oakland Raiders’ first-round wide receiver aggravated a right hamstring injury, left the field with a trainer and didn’t return to practice, according to Jerry McDonald of the Contra Costa Times. Per the report, Heyward-Bey, who has been battling hamstring issues since being drafted seventh overall in April, got hurt running an out pattern and grabbed the back of his leg. McDonald wrote that Heyward-Bey was heard groaning in pain. The news stayed bad for the Raiders’ rookie class as second-round safety Mike Mitchell remains sidelined with his own hamstring injury. Meanwhile, newly-acquired defensive end Greg Ellis took the first-team repetitions at left defensive end. According to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Raiders declined to make Ellis available for interviews.
