| December 20, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune that quarterback Josh McCown and JaMarcus Russell will split time in Week 16. One passer will start the game and the other will finish it. "There's something to be said for not going back and forth," Kiffin says. "You saw last week the momentum swing of going with one, and then going back. So, we're just looking into the possibility." |
| December 13, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin made an early-week decision, for once. Josh McCown will start at quarterback against the Colts in Week 15, and JaMarcus Russell will enter the game at some point, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Daunte Culpepper (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. |
| 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. |
| 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 13, 2007 Josh McCown felt a little better on Monday, one day after suffering a bruised right thigh against the Bears. However, McCown may not keep his starting job for Week 11. "We have to look at his health and take everything into account," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. |
| November 12, 2007 Josh McCown was dealing with a bruised thigh after Sunday's game. "It's pretty sore," McCown told the Contra Costa Times. "It's the worst type of bruise I've had so, hopefully, it can get better. These things are kind of awkward, just kind of hard to tell. You never know how bad they're going to feel until the next day." Like he said, his availability for Week 11 won't be known until he's examined further on Monday. |
| November 6, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin announced on Monday that Josh McCown is still his starting quarterback, the Oakland Tribune reports. |
| November 1, 2007 Josh McCown will start Sunday against Houston, the AP reports. McCown, Oakland's opening day starter, replaces Daunte Culpepper, who has struggled to move the offense in recent weeks after taking over for McCown in Week 4. |
| October 30, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin will once again pull the curtain on his quarterbacks and not reveal his starter for Week 9. Josh McCown started the first three weeks, and Daunte Culpepper has been under center since that time. "We'll see Wednesday what Josh looks like and what he can do out there and then start figuring that out," Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. McCown fractured his left big toe in Week 3. |
| October 23, 2007 Josh McCown believes he is ready to regain his starting job. He fractured his big left toe in Week 3, and Daunte Culpepper has started the last three games. "We hope that he's out there as if nothing has ever happened," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Sacramento Bee. "We hope that he's out there and can go through the whole practice and participate at a high level." McCown practiced a bit before last Sunday's game. Kiffin has not named a starter for Week 8. |
| October 18, 2007 Josh McCown practiced on Wednesday for the first time since he suffered a hairline fracture in his big left toe in Week 3. He took snaps with the scout team, the Sacramento Bee reports. McCown believes he could play on Sunday if necessary. |
| October 16, 2007 Josh McCown may try to practice this week, but it sounds like he's not ready to regain his starting role. He is dealing with a fractured big toe in his left foot. "Lots of guys on this team play through soreness and pain, stuff like that," McCown tells the Sacramento Bee. "So I think we're getting close to the point where it's tolerable, and see what happens." Daunte Culpepper is starting in his place. |
| October 8, 2007 Josh McCown did not practice on Monday, and it sounds like he is not expected to regain his starting job in Week 6, the Sacramento Bee reports. McCown's main injury is a fractured toe in his left foot. He has also been dealing with a sprained right foot and a chipped bone in his right index finger. Daunte Culpepper started in Week 4. |
| October 5, 2007 Josh McCown took off his protective boot on Thursday, but he admitted that he as a long way to go to be ready for Week 6. McCown says he needs to put in a full week of practice to be ready for a game. "I'll need a couple of full days, at least," he tells the Oakland Tribune, "because I'm in a new situation. It's different than an offense that you've been in for a few years. I learned from that (last time)." McCown has a broken big toe on his left foot, a sprained right foot, and a chipped bone in his right index finger. |
| September 26, 2007 Raiders quarterback Josh McCown will very likely miss Sundays game with the Dolphins because of the hairline fracture of his right toe, according to NFL.com. The injury had improved since it forced McCown out of last weeks game, but not enough for people to be optimistic about his prospects for Week 4. Daunte Culpepper will get the start Sunday if McCown isnt available. |
| September 25, 2007 The Raiders will once again enter the week without a clear starter at quarterback. Josh McCown added a left foot injury to his right ankle and right hand ailments, and Daunte Culpepper replaced him during the Week 3 win over the Browns. "Josh's injury right now isn't clear enough," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Sacramento Bee. "We need more information on it." |
| September 23, 2007 Josh McCown was replaced by Daunte Culpepper to start the second half on Sunday. He completed 6-of-12 passes for 108 yards and one score prior to his departure, although he also lost two fumbles. McCown appeared to injure his left foot in the first quarter, and he was seen limping on the sidelines in the third quarter. |
| September 21, 2007 Josh McCown was limited in practice again on Thursday, but he is still expected to start on Sunday against the Browns, the Sacramento Bee reports. McCown is dealing with a sprained right foot and a cracked bone in his right index finger, but he was able to start in Week 2. |
| September 19, 2007 Raiders quarterback Josh McCown was limited in practice Wednesday because of his sprained right foot. He was able to play through the injury last week. McCown is also battling a cracked bone on the index finger of his right hand. All signs point towards Josh starting again in Week 3, but hes a poor fantasy option, even against the Browns. |
| September 17, 2007 Those waiting for the Daunte Culpepper era to begin in Oakland will have to wait a little longer. Head coach Lane Kiffin told the media on Monday that Josh McCown, who threw three interceptions to the Broncos Sunday, will be the starter again this week. Kiffin said that he believes McCown still gives the Raiders the best chance to win. |
| September 16, 2007 Josh McCown started Sunday despite ankle and finger injuries, but perhaps he should have stayed on the sidelines. McCown completed just 8-of-16 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown while getting intercepted three times. He did scramble for 28 yards on two runs. |
| September 16, 2007 Josh McCown is active on Sunday, but the Raiders have not named a starter between McCown and Daunte Culpepper. McCown was listed as doubtful due to a sprained right ankle and sore right index finger. Fantasy owners should not be looking to use either McCown or Culpepper. |
| September 15, 2007 Josh McCown is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game due to his foot and finger injuries. Coach Lane Kiffin said Friday that the injuries are expected to keep McCown from playing in Week 2, according to the Contra Costa Times. Barring an unexpected recovery by McCown on Saturday, Daunte Culpepper will make his first start for the Raiders. |
| September 14, 2007 Josh McCown and Daunte Culpepper both took first-team reps at Thursday's practice, the Oakland Tribune reports. McCown is dealing with a sore foot and a finger injury. Head coach Lane Kiffin continues to be coy about who he plans to start Sunday at Denver. |
| September 13, 2007 Josh McCown did not practice on Wednesday, but he did throw on the sidelines. He injured his right index finger in the season opener, and some reports claim he has a cracked bone. However, head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune that a sore right foot was the reason McCown missed practice. "I expect to play," McCown says, "but we'll see how it goes." |
| September 12, 2007 Josh McCown has a slight crack in his right index finger and might not be able to start Week 2 against Denver, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network. If McCown isn't able to start, Daunte Culpepper would get the call. |
| September 11, 2007 Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin made it official on Monday. Josh McCown will the starting quarterback when the Raiders visit the Broncos on Sunday. "Josh managed the game extremely well," Kiffin tells the San Francisco Chronicle. "Josh, for the most part, put the ball exactly (as) if you were playing a video game and had a joystick on him and made his decisions." The coach did not provide an update on McCown's injured right index finger. |
| September 10, 2007 Josh McCown is expected to start again in week two. "Josh is our starter right now and we're very pleased with a number of things he did today, and we're going to stay with him for now," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. McCown completed 30-of-40 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions on Sunday. He also fumbled three times. |
| September 6, 2007 Various sources reported on Wednesday that Daunte Culpepper would be the Raiders starting quarterback on Sunday. Then, various sources switched their reports to Josh McCown. The man with the ultimate say, head coach Lane Kiffin, still isn't showing his hand. "I don't have any information for you on that," Kiffin tells the San Jose Mercury News. When pressed about why he won't say, Kiffin says to the Sacramento Bee, "Because I don't want to tell you." |
| September 5, 2007 Josh McCown has apparently beaten out Daunte Culpepper for the starting quarterback job in Oakland. NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that coach Lane Kiffin is expected to announce McCown as his starter for Week 1 versus the Lions. McCown completed 24-of-47 passes (51 percent) for 352 yards this preseason, while Culpepper completed 26-of-46 passes (57 percent) for four TDs and one INT. |
| August 9, 2007 Josh McCown will start the Raiders preseason opener on Saturday against the Lions. "It's nice for now," he tells the Sacramento Bee. Head coach Lane Kiffin plans to split the reps evenly between McCown, Daunte Culpepper, and Andrew Walter. |
| August 8, 2007 The Raiders released their first depth chart of the season on Tuesday, and they have three starting quarterbacks. Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown, and Andrew Walter are apparently even at this point. "No one of the three has emerged as the clear-cut guy, by any means," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. "We don't need to have the starter right now. So, we're going to let them play and, to the best that we can, they'll have equal reps in the game Saturday." |
| April 28, 2007 Josh McCown was acquired by the Raiders during Saturday's draft. He came to Oakland along with wide receiver Mike Williams in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, and is expected to compete with Andrew Walter for the starting quarterback job until No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell is ready to play. |
| April 8, 2007 John Clayton of ESPN.com has reported that the Raiders are interested in trading for Josh McCown, according to the Detroit Free Press. The Raiders apparently are looking for a veteran QB as they decide whether to draft LSU's JaMarcus Russell or Notre Dame's Brady Quinn with the first pick in the draft. |
