Two hospitals had NFL visitors Tuesday.

Nine Raiders players spent a portion of their off-day Tuesday at the Oakland site.

They were defensive tackle Mo Hurst. Jr., guard Gabe Jackson, linebacker Tahir Whitehead, linebacker Kyle Wilber, fullback Keith Smith, linebacker Marquel Lee, defensive end Shilique Calhoun, nose tackle Justin Ellis, long snapper Andrew DePaola.

In Las Vegas, Raiders alumni and Raiderettes visited the children’s hospital at UMC. The Raiders contributed $5,000 in support of the hospital’s Child Life Department and donated three cars that young patients will use to drive to their surgeries.
