ALAMEDA – It looks more and more like Josh McCown won’t be the Raiders backup quarterback this weekend.
He will be if Lane Kiffin likes No. 2 quarterbacks with a limp.
McCown went through individual drills this morning, but didn’t look good trying to run and at one point grabbed is injured right quadriceps.
Right now, McCown is standing between JaMarcus Russell’s possible debut this Sunday in Minnesota. If McCown is deemed fit to be a backup, Russell’s first game might have to wait another week.
If Russell were No. 2, it would be the first step in Kiffin inserting Russell for a few series to get him acclimated to the NFL.
No other players injured players were missing from practice.
