With the Oakland Raiders set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that could propel them ahead of their rival in the AFC West standings, while also setting them up in a great spot to win the division, extra precautions are being taken. Not just in preparation for the game, but in the information that's been handed to the opponent as well.

Specifically, Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio apparently has some opinions on wide receiver Amari Cooper. But as Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reported, but he's not going to reveal much about the status of the injured wide receiver because he doesn't want Chiefs coach Andy Reid to know too much. As Bair points out, Del Rio wouldn't call Cooper a game-time decision and spoke briefly about him.

“We’ll see,” Del Rio said. “I have some thoughts on it, but I don’t need to share them with (Chiefs head coach Andy Reid) right now.”

It seems that the Raiders coach is doing his best to keep Kansas City on their toes ahead of the big matchup. Regardless, though, Cooper getting in a practice on Friday was a big deal, and very well may result in him giving it a go on Sunday.

A lot could come down to the next day or so for Cooper, but obviously, Raiders fans are going to keep their fingers crossed.
