Cooper,theNo.4overall pick, wasn't wasting time this week dwelling on his performance or wonder- ing what the next experi- ence will be like. He was studying his upcoming op- ponent. "I try to get better every day," Cooper said. "Start focusing on Minnesota, look at their DBs, look at the defense they run, how they play their situational football and adjust to it and try to execute my as- signment." Quarterback Derek Carr may be in only his second year, but 16 games at that position can accelerate the experience. He remembers feeling more and more comfortable as the games added up last year. "For those rookies, they're going to start to see that they can do the same type of things they did in college, as long as they're working and know what they're doing," Carr said. "They're going to start to see growth in themselves. They'll go out there, do it, catch the ball and say, 'That worked.' They'll start to pick up on things and they'll start to see the snowball effect." Tight end Clive Wal- ford is another rookie with some impressive mo- ments in his debut, includ- ing a splendid 22-yard re- ception down the seam. But the third-round pick hasn't practiced since. He now has missed 12 of the Raiders' 14 training camp practices, but Del Rio isn't ready to make a major is- sue about it. Instead he'll be looking for the youngsters who do get on the field to inch forward by watching and learning with eyes wide open. "We want to educate them the best we can, leaning on our veterans, (so they can) understand what it looks like, what to expect," he said. "That's just part of the experi- ence." Raiders FROMPAGE1 By Cam Inman BayAreaNewsGroup SANTA CLARA Derek Car- rier, once a strong candi- date to serve as the 49ers' top tight end behind Ver- non Davis, instead got traded Friday to Washing- ton. The 49ers entered train- ing camp with eight tight ends, and Carrier was the second traded away this week. In return, Carrier drew a conditional 2017 fifth-round draft pick, ac- cording to the Sacramento Bee. Asante Cleveland's trade Monday to the New England Patriots produced a swap for backup guard Jordan Devy. News of Carrier's trade broke just as coach Jim Tomsula entered his press conference. Tomsula said he was unaware of any pending deal, noting that personnel meetings don't take place until later in the afternoon in camp. "The whole group is do- ing really well. We're really happy," Tomsula said of the tight ends. "We feel it's a re- ally talented group." Vance McDonald and Garrett Celek are now more entrenched as incum- bent reserves, and both have had positive camps after injury-plagued 2014 seasons. Both players had back surgeries last season, and Tomsula said neither player is being limited by health issues. Davis, also, looks primed to rebound from a career- worst season. The 49ers kept Davis out of Satur- day's exhibition opener to yield playing time to younger players, including Carrier. Blake Bell, a fourth- round draft pick out of Oklahoma, also has shown well. Rounding out the still-stocked unit are Xavier Grimble, a former practice-squad player, and Busta Anderson, a seventh- round pick from South Car- olina. "We have to have the best tight-end group in the league. That's a deep po- sition for us," safety Eric Reid said just prior to Fri- day's trade. 49ERS TE C ar ri er t ra de d to W as hi ng to n AUTORACING IndyCar ABC Supply 500IndyCar Series Qualifying:11a.m.,NBCSN.

"I just couldn't get any- thing out of my rounds (be- fore this tournament) and a couple lucky bounces here, take advantage of those op- portunities — it's just the flow," Woods said. Now he'll spend Satur- day playing with an unfa- miliar rookie. When asked if he would recognize Hoge to see him, Woods re- sponded: "No, I wouldn't. What is it, or him?" "I look on the Champi- ons Tour leaderboard and I know every one of those guys because I played against them and I played with them," Woods said. "Now I come out here, I don't really know a lot of people." Davis Love III and Chad Campbell were a stroke back. Campbell shot 65, and the 51-year-old Love had 66. Br a ndt Sne deker matched the tournament record with a 61 that put him in a group of six play- ers two strokes behind Woods and Hoge. But for the second straight day, the big story at Sedgefield Country Club was Woods. He missed the cuts in the last three majors and hasn't finished better than a tie for 17th at the Masters. At No. 187 on the FedEx Cup points list, he would definitely crack the top 125 with a win and qualify for the Barclays next week in New Jersey. Depending on how the math works out, a solo second-place finish also might be enough. He took advantage of some prime scoring con- ditions during the first round, shooting that 64 on a course softened by show- ers that morning. That left him two strokes off the lead. Golf FROM PAGE 1 who learned Wednesday he needs to find a new job for next year because MWR is closing at the end of the season. Ragan joined MWR in May as the re- placement driver for Brian Vickers, who is sidelined with blood clots. "I really thought we had a shot at the pole and just didn't have enough speed that second round," Ra- gan said. "Anytime you can start in the top-five, that's a great starting spot. I feel like we've got a good race car. Yeah, we're pretty happy with that starting spot, but I'll always won- der if we didn't have to run so many laps that second round if we would've had a shot at the pole." Joey Logano was the highest-qualifying non- Toyota driver at fifth in a Ford. He was followed by Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski. Kevin Harvick was the highest-qualifying Chev- rolet at seventh. Meanwhile, Matt Kens- eth, winner of the April race at Bristol and the fourth JGR driver, qualified 13th. • Kyle Busch got by leader Chris Buescher on an overtime restart and pulled away for his eighth career Xfinity Series vic- tory. NASCAR FROM PAGE 1 complete games and al- lowed just two total runs over 251/3 innings. None- theless, he won his fourth straight start and his sev- enth in eight outings to run his record to 15-6, tied with the Cubs' Jake Arrieta for the major league wins lead. Bumgarner gave up six hits and three runs over 61/3, walked one and struck out six. And he needed help to close this one out against the of- fensive-minded Pirates. Sergio Romo got a big double play to end the seventh, then after the Pi- rates scored a run against Romo to pull within two, rookie Josh Osich came on with two on and two out to face power threat Pedro Alvarez. Osich won the battle, retiring Alva- rez on a grounder to first base. Santiago Casilla fin- ished the job in the ninth despite walking Neil Walker to lead off the frame. Gregory Polanco hit in to a double play, and Starling Marte grounded out to second as Casilla notched his 30th save. "I don't care if I get the win, if we get the win when I start I feel the same way everybody feels," Bumgarner said. "Especially this time of year. You've got to win every game you can win." The Giants also got three hits from Nori Aoki in his return to the lead- off spot.
