| Player Notes |
| December 8, 2007 Daunte Culpepper missed another practice Friday due to a quad injury and is doubtful for Sunday's game. Josh McCown will start, and coach Lane Kiffin said he will gauge Culpepper's readiness in pregame warm-ups to determine whether he is healthy enough to be the backup, according to the Oakland Tribune. If Culpepper can't play, Andrew Walter will be the backup and JaMarcus Russell would have clipboard duty. |
| December 7, 2007 Daunte Culpepper did not practice on Thursday due to a sore right quad, the Oakland Tribune reports. He also sat out on Wednesday. Lane Kiffin hasn't named a starter, but we'd be surprised if Josh McCown isn't starting when the Raiders visit Green Bay this Sunday. |
| December 5, 2007 Raiders coach Lane Kiffin is unsure as to who will start this Sunday in Green Bay, he did mention that it is between Daunte Culpepper and Josh McCown, leaving JaMarcus Russell holding a clipboard at least for the time being. Russell saw his first NFL action last week, but evidently is not ready to start. McCown and Culpepper have each started six games for the Raiders this season. |
| December 2, 2007 Daunte Culpepper (quad) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Josh McCown will start in his place. There's no fantasy value here. |
| November 30, 2007 The one thing we know for sure is that rookie JaMarcus Russell will not get the start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders this Sunday when they face off against the Denver Broncos. On Friday Josh McCown took the majority of the snaps with the first team offense even thought he has two dislocated joints in his non-throwing hand. Daunte Culpepper is questionable for Sunday as he nurses a sore quadriceps muscle. If Culpepper is unable to go, it will be McCown getting the nod on Sunday, but it will most likely be a game-time decision. |
| November 30, 2007 Daunte Culpepper was limited on Thursday due to a sore right quad, but he is still expected to start in Week 13. "I feel good enough," Culpepper tells the Oakland Tribune. "I feel like now I will be (the starter), but I'm not going to push it. I'll see how it feels (on Friday)." |
| November 14, 2007 Quarterback Daunte Culpepper will start on Sunday against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings. The start comes to Culpepper by way of the benching of one Josh McCown, who has been battling a thigh injury and playing poorly since returning from a broken toe. |
| October 27, 2007 Raiders coach Lane Kiffin announced Friday that Daunte Culpepper will start at quarterback Sunday. Josh McCown will back up Culpepper and JaMarcus Russell will be their third option, according to the Contra Costa Times. McCown is returning from a fractured toe, but it looks like Kiffin wants to give Culpepper one more shot to prove himself. |
| October 26, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin is once again refusing to name a starting quarterback for Sunday. Josh McCown practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday. He has been out since fracturing his big left toe in Week 3, and Daunte Culpepper is starting in his place. "We'll have to go in and sit down and watch the film again and talk with Josh also," Kiffin tells the Sacramento Bee. McCown admitted that his toe was sore on Thursday morning. The Raiders travel to Tennessee this Sunday. |
| October 9, 2007 The Raiders have named Daunte Culpepper their starting quarterback for the Week 6 game in San Diego. He has the job because Josh McCown is dealing with various injuries, namely a hairline fracture in the big toe of his left foot. "When Josh becomes healthy, we'll have a decision to make or it could stay the same," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Sacramento Bee. |
| September 28, 2007 Daunte Culpepper will start Sundays game against his former team, when he leads the Raiders against the Dolphins. According to NFL.com, Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has named Culpepper the starter over Josh McCown, who is suffering from a hairline fracture in his toe, among other injuries. |
| September 14, 2007 Raiders quarterback Daunte Culpepper is likely to get his first start for the silver and black Sunday after starter Josh McCown pulled up a little lame on his injured right foot at practice Friday, according to ESPN. |
| September 5, 2007 Daunte Culpepper has lost out to Josh McCown in the battle for the Raiders' starting QB job. Culpepper's preseason numbers were a little better and he was considered to be the favorite for the job, but the Raiders apparently feel that McCown has a better grasp on the offense. |
| September 5, 2007 The Raiders aren't revealing who will be under center in week one. Heck, we don't even know who will be the "center" in said scenario. Head coach Lane Kiffin has reportedly told Daunte Culpepper and Josh McCown who will be the starting quarterback on Sunday, but both the coach and players are refusing to divulge the information, according to the Oakland Tribune. Centers Jake Grove and Jeremy Newberry are being kept in the dark about who will start. |
| August 31, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin still isn't settled on his starting quarterback for the season opener. "As for the quarterback question, don't have an answer for you," Kiffin tells the San Francisco Chronicle. "We'll go back and look at the film and see where it goes from there." The coach adds that he may not name a starter until right before the season opener on September 9. Josh McCown and Daunte Culpepper are the two options. |
| August 27, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin isn't in a hurry to name a starting quarterback. "We're going to take a couple of days on it and obviously go one way or the other," Kiffin tells the Sacramento Bee. "Either name our guy or go one more week." Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown, and Andrew Walter are all in the running, and Kiffin says Culpepper is not yet playing at the same speed as the other two passers. |
| August 23, 2007 The Raiders will start their third quarterback in as many preseason games when they face the Rams on Friday. Daunte Culpepper will get the nod this time. Josh McCown and Andrew Walter started the previous two contests. "I know Daunte's excited about it," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the San Jose Mercury News. Kiffin plans to name a regular season starter before the final exhibition game. |
| August 19, 2007 Daunte Culpepper was on his game Saturday against San Francisco, completing 6-of-8 passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns. Culpepper's production, for this night at least, gave him the edge over Andrew Walter (9-for-16, 78 yards, one interception) and Josh McCown (8-for-17, 97 yards). |
| August 2, 2007 Daunte Culpepper had his first practice with the Raiders on Wednesday, and he did not need to wear a brace on his right knee. "My mind-set is to continue to work to get better to be the starter," Culpepper tells the Oakland Tribune. "I'm ready to go now. I'm just going to continue to work and progress every day in this offense. Physically, I feel great, and I'm going to continue to get better and stronger every day." |
| August 1, 2007 Daunte Culpepper is prepared to battle Josh McCown and Andrew Walter and believes he can win the starting job. "He'll be part of the competition to be the starting quarterback," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. "We'll give him the opportunity and see if he can take it and if he can't, he'll be a backup. He said he's not worried about competition. He said he's going to be the starter." |
| August 1, 2007 Daunte Culpepper signed a one-year contract with the Raiders Tuesday. Terms were not immediately disclosed. The signing of Culpepper is at least partly related to the contract talks between the Raiders and No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell, which are going nowhere. |
| July 31, 2007 Free agent Daunte Culpepper will work out for the Raiders on Tuesday, two weeks after being released by the Dolphins, according to the AP. Culpepper held a private workout for a member of the Raiders' personnel department in Florida on Monday. Apparently he did well enough there to persuade the team to fly him out to California for an additional workout. |
| July 26, 2007 The Jaguars appear to be backing off of quarterback Daunte Culpepper . At this point, its unlikely [the team will sign Culpepper], Del Rio told the Florida Times-Union. I doubt its going to happen. It just doesnt seem like a good fit for whatever reason. We said wed investigate it, and we have. At this point he has other suitors out there, and we feel good about our quarter back situation with Byron Leftwich as our starter and David Garrard as our backup. |
| July 20, 2007 Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden met with free agent Daunte Culpepper on Thursday, according to the St. Petersburg Times. General manager Bruce Allen and senior pro personnel assistant Doug Williams accompanied Gruden to the meeting with Culpepper, who serves as his own agent. |
| July 17, 2007 The Dolphins put an end to the brief Daunte Culpepper Era on Tuesday, releasing the quarterback with little fanfare, announcing the move in a one-sentence release. "As I was going through this process I heard about a quote by Gandhi that best expresses my thoughts about this victory," Culpepper told the Associated Press in an e-mail. "'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.' Now that I have won my freedom and I get to choose my next team, I am just like many other people who have to go out and find employment so that I can take care of my family." |
| June 14, 2007 Daunte Culpepper suffered a minor injury to his left hand after getting in a two-car accident on Wednesday night. "We've spoken to Daunte and he assured us he was fine," a Dolphins spokesman told the Associated Press. "The real problem is that the guy damaged my 1975 convertible Caprice Classic," Culpepper added. |
| June 13, 2007 The NFL Players Association has stepped in on behalf of Daunte Culpepper , filing a grievance with the league on Tuesday claiming the Dolphins are denying him the opportunity to compete for a job. Hes being employed as a skilled football player, and unless theyre going to let him be one, he should be released, NFLPA attorney Richard Berthelsen told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. |
| June 11, 2007 Daunte Culpepper might file a grievance against the Dolphins via the NFL Players Association, according to the Palm Beach Post. Culpepper wants to chose which team to join for next season, rather than let the Dolphins trade him where they wish. The trouble is that he doesn't have much legal ground to make such a demand. In the end, he probably will get released, but not until the Dolphins exhaust their trade possibilities. |
| June 8, 2007 Daunte Culpepper has asked the Dolphins to release him, the AP reports. Culpepper, who serves as his own agent, made the request Thursday -- one day after the Dolphins completed the Trent Green trade. Miami has told Culpepper it will attempt to deal him. |
| June 7, 2007 On the same day Trent Green passed his physical and was officially introduced as the Dolphins new starting quarterback, it appeared Daunte Culpepper will be either traded or released before this weekends minicamp. According to the Miami Herald, the team is concerned Culpepper could sustain an injury during minicamp, which would leave the Dolphins on the hook for his $5.5 million salary next season. |
| June 6, 2007 A day after acquiring former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green, the Dolphins notified Daunte Culpepper he is not in their plans. According to the Miami Herald, coach Cam Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller met with Culpepper on Wednesday morning and told him the team will attempt to trade him. I am not interested in being traded, Culpepper told the Herald in an e-mail. They have told me throughout the offseason that I am under contract to the Dolphins. Therefore, it will be up to them to either keep me under contract or release me. |
| May 18, 2007 Daunte Culpepper practiced on a limited basis Friday and told the Associated Press he's certain he'll be able to take part in the Dolphins' minicamp in June. "It's small steps right now," he said. "I feel good. No real pain, which is a good sign. I just want to ease my way into it." |
| May 9, 2007 Quarterback Daunte Culpepper expects to be ready for the start of the Dolphins next minicamp, which opens June 8. Im going to use it as a way to get ready for training camp, Culpepper told the Miami Herald. Daunte added that hes feeling no pain in the knee, and Dolphins coach Cam Cameron told the Herald that Dauntes knee is in the 90 percentile of health. |
| April 17, 2007 The Dolphins are expected to trade or release Daunte Culpepper, according to the Charlotte Observer. Culpepper played in just four games last year before sitting out the rest of the year due to recurring knee problems. The Dolphins have been in ongoing talks with the Chiefs about Trent Green, and they also hope to take a quarterback in the draft. |
| April 10, 2007 Daunte Culpepper has turned to yoga in hopes of recapturing his 2004 record-breaking Pro Bowl form, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. "I just want to loosen up my muscles, stretch out real good, open my body up so I can cut down the risk of injury of any kind, not just for my knee," Culpepper said. |
| February 3, 2007 Coach Cam Cameron has been impressed with the way that Daunte Culpepper rehabilitating his knee, but the coach is not yet ready to name Culpepper his starting quarterback for the 2007 season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "Daunte is doing everything he can do to be ready for quarterback school," Cameron said Friday. "For me to be overly positive on someone I've known for two weeks isn't real. I'm going to base my opinion on any player in our locker room on what I see on a day-to-day basis." Joey Harrington and Cleo Lemon are also in the quarterback picture. |
