ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders will likely have to wait at least another week to get defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. back on the field for the first time this season.Coach Jack Del Rio said Friday that the team did not anticipate activating Edwards from injured reserve to play in Sundays game at San Diego. Edwards has been sidelined since injuring his hip in the preseason opener in August and returned to practice last week. The Raiders have until Dec. 26 to decide whether to activate Edwards or shut him down for the rest of the season.Well get him ready for next week, Del Rio said. Theres always a chance, but in all likelihood well hold off. ... The reality is hes had a good week, and Id like him to get another good week. Hes getting close.Edwards, a second-round pick out of Florida State last year, made 10 starts as a rookie and was emerging as a key player on Oaklands improving defense late last season before getting hurt. Edwards had 2 1/2 sacks, provided pressure on the quarterback and was stout against the run.But he has been plagued by injuries. He missed the final two games last year with a significant neck injury that kept him out of most of the offseason program.Edwards then hurt his hip in the preseason opener at Arizona on Aug. 12 and began the season on injured reserve. Oakland had initially hoped to get him back midway through the season.It will definitely help, defensive tackle Dan Williams said of getting Edwards back. Mario is a talented guy, a talented rusher. He was one of our leaders on the inside last year. Getting a good football player who is healthy and has fresh legs is exciting when were trying to make this stretch run.The Raiders have missed Edwards pass-rush ability from the inside to complement edge rushers Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin. Only Cleveland has fewer than Oaklands 22 sacks so far this season, with Mack (11) and Irvin (5) providing 16 of them.Obviously, Khalil is getting his numbers, Bruce is a presence off the edge. I think our edge press is pretty good, Del Rio said. I think as our interior pressure goes a little bit better and our coverage is a little tighter, I think those numbers will jump up. Hopefully that can start this weekend.Edwards had been counted on to give that inside push on passing downs. But with him sidelined, rookie Jihad Ward has been called on to try to fill that hole.Ward has no sacks and only eight quarterback pressures, according to Sportradar. But Del Rio sees the tools that made Ward a second-round pick and hopes it turns into production.He plays hard, plays with great energy. Hes very similar to how Malik Jackson was his first year in Denver, Del Rio said. Close on a lot of things. Doesnt make a lot of plays his first year, or hasnt done thus far, but he gives great energy.Game notes Oakland will also be without rookie safety Karl Joseph, who will miss his second straight game with a toe injury. ... DT Stacy McGee (ankle) and LB Shilique Calhoun (knee) are also out. ... DT Darius Latham (ankle) is questionable this week after missing the previous two games.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cameron Erving Jersey .

The race morning scratching of pre-post favourite and likely leader Religify has paved the way for Sweet Redemption to claim her biggest win in the Group Three Festival Stakes at Rosehill.Her rider Brenton Avdulla said the race had panned out perfectly for Sweet Redemption, runner-up at her past two starts in the Summoned Stakes at Sandown and the Goulburn Cup.With Religify out I was confident I could get complete control and it worked out perfectly, Avdulla said.In the straight they got to within half a length of me but she lifted again.Shes a very tough mare.Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Sweet Redemption was supported late from $9 to start $5.50.Avdulla bounced her to the front and she rolled along at her own pace with enough in reserve to to hold off Melbourne visitor Hazzabeel ($6) by a short neck with Red Excitement ($11) another long neck third.The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Extensible started the $4.80 favourite but could only manage fifth while second elect Rageese ($5) finished ninth with premier Melbourne trainerr Darren Weir still chasing a winner in Sydney.ddddddddddddThe Festival Stakes (1500m) is a lead-up to Sydneys summer showpeice, the Group Two Villiers Stakes (1600m) in two weeks but Waterhouse said there were other options for Sweet Redeemotion.Well see how she pulls up but she is a Magic Millions horse so the fillies and mares race is where shell head, she said.How she gets there we cont yet know but theres more chance she will go north for one of those Listed races in Brisbane than the Villiers.She is lovely mare and keeps improving. But she has been up a while.The Magic Millions carnlval is on January 14 with all races worth a minimum $1 million.The Chris Waller-trained Religify was found to be lame after trackwork on Saturday morning putting his Villiers campaign in doubt.After a treble to Tim Clark at Rosehill, Avdullas win puts him back on level pegging in both the Sydney and state jockeys premierships.
