Darrius Heyward-Bey didn’t see as much action most would have expected in the loss to the Broncos. He did not catch a pass in the game, and it would make one think that he had been benched for some reason.
According to Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, Raiders coach Hue Jackson attributed it to specific “sets” the team was running, and Heyward-Bey wasn’t benched.
