ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders filled their void at left tackle on Wednesday by signing free agent Donald Penn to a two-year contract. Penn fills the opening created when Jared Veldheer left as a free agent for Arizona and left unfilled when Rodger Saffold failed his physical after agreeing to a five-year, $42.5 million deal with Oakland. NFL Network reported that Penns contract is worth $9.6 million with $4.2 million guaranteed. Oakland also announced that safety Usama Young officially signed the two-year deal he agreed to last week to return to the Raiders. Penn, who turns 30 next month, was released earlier this month by Tampa Bay after the Buccaneers signed Anthony Collins to a five-year, $30 million contract to take over at left tackle. Penn struggled in pass protection last season with Tampa Bay, allowing 12 sacks, including nine in the final six games, according to Pro Football Focus. Only one tackle -- Will Beatty of the Giants -- was blamed for more sacks last season. Penn also allowed 28 quarterback hurries and six quarterback hits and ranked in the middle of the pack in terms of total pressures allowed. Penn was more successful as a run blocker -- an area where the Raiders needed improvement this off-season. He has played in 122 career games over his eight seasons with Tampa Bay, including 108 consecutive starts at left tackle since 2007. Penn visited Oakland last week but left without signing a deal. He then met with the Washington Redskins about playing right tackle before finally ending up back with the Raiders. The Raiders have placed a high priority in free agency on upgrading the offensive line, having also reached deals with right tackle Austin Howard and interior lineman Kevin Boothe. They also re-signed Khalif Barnes before he hit the open market. The Raiders had little continuity on the line last season as injuries and poor play forced Oakland to use eight different starting line combinations. Young joined Oakland last season on a one-year deal with expectations of becoming the starting free safety. But a little more than a month after signing Young, the Raiders signed Charles Woodson to a one-year deal to fill that spot. Young moved into a backup role and played well when he got his chance on defence and special teams. He started once in his 12 games before being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury in December. The 29-year-old Young had one interception, three passes defenced and 2 1/2 sacks last season with the Raiders, playing about one-quarter of the defensive snaps when healthy.

PAUL, Minn.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Denver Nuggets had a five-game winning streak snapped last time out, so theyll try and get back into the win column Saturday night when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Pepsi Center. Denver had won five straight until a 97-89 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Big D Friday night. The Mavs salvaged the home end of a home-and-home series with the Nuggets, who have won three consecutive contests at home. On Friday, the Mavs won wire-to-wire after Dirk Nowitzki, Rajon Rondo and Tyson Chandler returned to the lineup. All three missed Wednesday nights game in Denver. Arron Afflalo had 16 points, and JJ Hickson scored 13 and pulled down 14 rebounds for the Nuggets. Ty Lawson scored 11 to go with 12 assists and six boards for Denver, which posted a 114-107 home win Wednesday. Jameer Nelson, who made his Nuggets debut after being traded from Boston, scored 14 to go with seven assists. It was a little weird. Number one playing against a team a played for this year and two, I havent played basketball in a couple of weeks, said Nelson, who was dealt from Dallas to Boston Dec. 18. The situation in Boston, I had a a lot going on yesterday with traveling and my mind was spinning. You step on the court its basketball and all the other stuff goes out the window. You have to pplay the game and do your job.dddddddddddd The Timberwolves snapped a 15-game losing streak on Tuesday, but fell back to their losing ways on Friday, thanks to a 110-99 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Mo Williams netted 26 points, half of his career-high output from Tuesday, Andrew Wiggins scored 17 and Thaddeus Young finished with 13 points, eight boards and six assists for the Timberwolves. Theyve got a lot of weapons and theyve got some length, Williams said of the Suns. Theyre athletic. They made some tough shots. The Suns shot 48-of-87 from the field (55.2 percent), while the Timberwolves were just 42-of-91 (46.2 percent), despite opening the game 8-for-8 from the floor. Kevin Martin could be close to returning to the T-wolves lineup. Hes missed 28 games with a broken wrist. If Martin doesnt return Saturday, he could be back Monday when the Timberwolves visit the Charlotte Hornets. Nikola Pekovic is also not far from a return. Minnesota head coach Flip Saunders indicated the big man may go to the D-League for a few games to help with conditioning. Ricky Rubio is not as close as the others to getting back on the floor. The Nuggets took the first two meetings this season between these Northwest Division rivals. Denver is 8-2 in its last 10 against the Timberwolves in the Mile High City.
