The Raiders placed Brown on season-ending injured reserve, one day after the big right tackle was named to his first Pro Bowl. Brown, who this past offseason signed a contract making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, has missed the past two games because of a pectoral injury after sitting out one game earlier in the season with an ankle injury. “His pec is just not getting any better,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday, Dec. 18. “It’s disappointing. Obviously what he did put on tape was very impressive.” (AP Photo/D. Ross Cameron, File)

While Dallas isn’t the only example of a club benefiting from a heavy investment up front, the New England Patriots are several notches higher than Dallas as an elite team with a more frugal approach.

The Raiders are preparing to make do without the anchor of their offensive line. Hudson missed practice on Wednesday with a sprained ankle that knocked him out of last week's loss at Houston and appears unlikely to be able to play this week against the Detroit Lions. Hudson is one of the most valuable members of the offense for the Raiders because of his strong blocking in the pass and run games and the ability to get the entire offense into the correct protections.
