Raiders’ locker room has ongoing skunk problem

It has not been a great week for the Oakland Raiders.

After a rather ugly 33-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener, Jon Gruden’s team found another problem: their locker room has been invaded by a skunk.

Gruden rather amusingly opined on the problem on Wednesday.

Jon Gruden just said a skunk got loose in the Raiders locker room this week. So yeah, not great times in Oakland right now.

Reporter: "Did you see the skunk?"
Gruden: "You don't have to see a skunk, you know?"

The news does not get better, as nobody has actually managed to catch the thing.

The rogue skunk is still at large in the Oakland area, per Jon Gruden.

The Coliseum has had all sorts of issues in recent years. A skunk in the locker room is a new one.
