Raiders receiver and return man Yamon Figurs fumbled the opening kickoff of the season on Sunday, and now he's out of work. The Raiders have released Figurs, and he'll be replaced in the return game by Jacoby Ford and Johnnie Lee Higgins, Raiders coach Tom Cable said. Figurs was the fastest man at the 2007 scouting combine, with a 4.30-second 40-yard dash, and the Ravens picked him up in the third round that year. But his inability to hold onto the ball has cost him his job. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/
