Campbell Injured Wrist Before Getting Stinger

Aug 7, 2014 5:57 PM

Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell injured his wrist before leaving Saturday's preseason loss to the 49ers with a stinger. Campbell was taken off the field in a cart after being hurt on a sack by Travis LaBoy in the second quarter. He hurt his right wrist on the previous series in the game. He underwent an MRI on Sunday and will be evaluated again later this week. "Usually I recover pretty fast," Campbell said. "Right now there's no timetable. The thing is just to improve and continue to keep getting better. We don't know the timetable or anything, but at the same time, I haven't really missed any time before." Oakland coach Tom Cable said that Campbell's wrist is the more immediate concern.

Eli Manning May Miss Steelers' Game

Oct 17, 2014 8:36 AM

Giants quarterback Eli Manning could miss the team's preseason game against the Steelers this week. Manning suffered a gash that required 12 stitches during Monday night's 31-16 win over the Jets. Since then, he hasn't been able to put on a helmet. "Initially, with Eli being the kind of guy he is, the idea for me going forward was: 'How are we going to make it so he can practice and play with the stitches?' " coach Tom Coughlin said. "There is concern there from the doctor's standpoint, because the nature of where the helmet sits according to where the stitches are could create a problem in terms of healing."

The Raiders will allow cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to roam the field and play on both the left and right side this season. Asomugha has been almost glued to the right side in his career. "Every year there are times when it happens but this year I just think it will happen more because we're doing it [in practice] more and they're allowing it to happen more," Asomugha said. "Me being able to play in the slot on third down ... I've wanted that for a while."

Charlie Frye, who was supposed to fight for the second string quarterback job with Oakland, has a mysterious hand injury. "There's so many things in your hand," said Frye, who has been out nine days with a sore and a braced-up wrist. "I guess they just want to find out some more about what's going on in there, because I can't throw a football." With Frye's injury a concern, the Raiders signed Colt Brennan as insurance behind Jason Campbell and Kyle Boller.
