PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : AFC : Hostetler Won’t Play Monday
Oakland Raider quarterback Jeff Hostetler will sit out Monday night’s game at San Diego, Coach Mike White said.
The right-handed Hostetler, who has a bruised left shoulder and a broken bone in his left hand, started against Dallas last Sunday but didn’t return after being hit by defensive lineman Chad Hennings late in the second quarter.
Vince Evans, at 40 the oldest active player in the NFL, will make his second start of the season in place of Hostetler. Billy Joe Hobert, a seldom-used three-year NFL veteran, will back up Evans.
Charger Coach Bobby Ross said running back Natrone Means probably won’t play because of his strained groin.
