Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski reportedly
tore a pectoral muscle while lifting weights

on Wednesday.



That explains the Kyle Boller signing. Gradkowski will undergo surgery on Friday, and he could be throwing in as soon as four weeks. With four months to recover, he's expected to be healthy for training camp. Boller will push Russell during OTAs while Gradkowski misses out on a chance to get acclimated to Hue Jackson's offense. Oakland skill position players may be in for a downgrade, which hardly seems possible.
