For the first time since 1979, Al Davis won't be in the owner's box watching his Raiders play an NFL game. Davis is listening advice from his doctors and not making the round-trip flight to Tampa, Fla., allowing swelling in his right knee and ankle to recover. Davis had a brief hospital stay earlier this month following a fall. "The doctors told him it's probably not the best thing to spend 10 or 12 hours in the air," Raiders' executive John Herrera said, according to the Oakland Tribune.
