ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) – Bruce Gradkowski’s excitement over being named starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders didn’t last long. Having seen the team already make one change after only six quarters, the journeyman backup realizes there isn’t much job security.
Gradkowski on Thursday worked through his second full practice since coach Tom Cable picked him to replace Jason Campbell as the Raiders starter.
The promotion capped a 10-month stretch in which Gradkowski suffered a pair of season-ending knee injuries in Week 14 last season, tore a pectoral muscle then watched as Oakland cut former No. 1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell, traded for Campbell and immediately named him the starter on the eve of training camp.
