Raiders' Curry is go-to guy

Posted Dec 12, 2006

The Raiders might be forced to use Ronald Curry. The Oakland wide receiver, often described as bright and the team's best third-down receiver, is usually relegated to spot duty by a coaching staff afraid he might hurt himself after his past two seasons ended with torn Achilles' tendons. But with Randy Moss leaving the game with ankle injury less than a minute into the second quarter, Curry was Aaron Brooks' go-to receiver in the Raiders' 27-10 loss to Cincinnati.
