He could be soon coming in with the Raiders trailing Kansas City 14-0 early in the third quarter.
Oakland quarterback Kyle Boller has been awful. He threw three interceptions in the first half, including a pass that was brought back for a score by Kansas City safety Kendrick Lewis. Fans have been chanting Palmer’s name all game. He didn’t start because the team and Palmer didn’t feel three days of practice was enough preparation time. Oakland traded for Palmer Tuesday. He hasn’t played since Week1 7 of last season.
Oakland running back Darren McFadden missed most of the first half. There hasn’t been any announcement from the Raiders, but he appeared to be favoring his lower leg, most likely his ankle.
McFadden -- who entered the game as the NFL’s leading rusher, has four yards on two carries. He has been on the sideline, so perhaps he will come in later. Backup Michael Bush had 82 yards on 12 carries in the first half.
Kansas City had five catches for 58 yards in the first half.
Oakland safety Matt Giordano has a neck injury and is out for the rest of the game.
