NFL Injury Report: Raiders-Broncos (Final Report)

Barring any setbacks between now and Sunday, Jason Campbell will start for the Oakland Raiders.  Although, he is listed as questionable he was able to participate a bit more and will likely get the start again with Bruce Gradkowski out.  Gradkowski is also starting to get better and is also listed as questionable but it is unlikely he will make it past the third quarterback label.

On the other hand, it seems all but sure that running back Darren McFadden will be active and play in this game.  However, he no longer will be the feature back; he is expected to be in a permanent time share with Michael Bush.

The Denver Broncos report is out and Eddie Royal seems to be the big question.  He practice a "light" amount today and will be a game-time decision.  Champ Bailey is expected to play this week which will make Jason Campbell have a harder time passing the ball.  If you couldn't pass against the San Francisco 49ers DB's, you're going to have trouble against the Broncos' Champ Bailey.

NFL Injury Report: Raiders-49ers (Thursday)

-Although, the Oakland Raiders have not officially listed Bruce Gradkowski as out for the 49ers game on the injury report he will not start.  Jason Campbell has been named the starting quarterback.

-We all thought the RB Darren McFadden would be a go for this week but that doesn't seem like a possibility as well.  Michael Bush was already set to be the starter but now it looks like he won't be sharing the carries with McFadden.

-Not much news about the 49ers injuries today.  Most focus was on the ineffective offense and Patrick Willis not being Patrick Willis.

NFL Injury Report: Raiders-49ers (Wednesday)

Both Robert Gallery and Darren McFadden practiced today, albeit limited, and both are likely to play this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers according to coach Tom Cable.  He was not as forth coming with QB Bruce Gradkowski.  It looks like Jason Campbell will be the starting QB for the Oakland Raiders.

On the other side of the Bay there is not much news.  Most of the focus in today's meeting with the local media was spent on the 0-5 record and the play in the trenches.  The most interesting item today was the discussion with Mike Singletary about Patrick Willis' ineffectiveness this season.

NFL Injury Report: Chargers-Raiders (Wednesday)

-Darren McFadden's injury problems are back now.  It looks like he will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers and that Michael Bush will be the primary back.

-Rolando McClain also missed today's practice but according to head coach Tom Cable it was related to "a loss in his family."

-Good news on the offensive line front.  Cable indicated that left guard Robert Gallery could be close and has not been ruled out for Sunday's game.
