Jason Campbell fine, but Kyle Boller may still start

Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=3137) lost his starting job to Bruce Gradkowski (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=3634) after only a few games this season, despite the contract extension he signed over the offseason.
Now he could face another indignity: Getting benched for Kyle Boller (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2256).
Coach Tom Cable said there is "absolutely" a chance that Boller will start over Campbell on Sunday against the Broncos. This isn't because of Campbell's injured knee. An MRI revealed no structural damage to Campbell's knee (http://twitter.com/Jerrymcd/status/27770519633), but Campbell's Jamarcus-like numbers against the 49ers appears to have spooked Cable.
Gradkowski appears to have a grip on the job when healthy, but no one is sure when that his shoulder will allow him to return.
Boller has a history with offensive coordinator Hue Jackson going back to their days together in Baltimore. Despite that, it would be a damning statement about Campbell's future with the Raiders if Boller gets the call in a key game against Denver.
