Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a broken collarbone in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Cleveland Browns and is likely to miss the rest of the regular season, league sources told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.

 

Raiders coach Hue Jackson confirmed the injury during his postgame news conference, but wouldn't confirm how long Campbell would be out.

 

"I have no idea how long it's going to take. I don't know," Jackson told reporters. "We know he won't be here next week."

 

Campbell left the game during the second quarter when he landed hard on his right shoulder at the end of a 7-yard run. Campbell was in obvious pain as he walked gingerly off the field with trainers, holding his right arm close to his body. He immediately headed up the stadium tunnel into the locker room.

If any team is going to panic and trade a 1st round pick for a guy like Palmer in this situation, it's the Raiders. We'll shortly find out if the Al Davis style of football will live on in Oaktown.

 

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Raiders are close to a deal that would send Palmer from the Bengals to Oakland for a first-round draft pick and a conditional future pick. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the conditional pick is a 2013 first-round selection.

 

Raiders coach Hue Jackson previously worked for the Bengals. Glazer says that Jackson worked Bengals owner Mike Brown hard to get the deal done.

 

Jackson must have been very persuasive. The Raiders are 4-2 and the Bengals are 4-2. Both teams are positioning for the playoffs, and if the Raiders don’t win the AFC West, they could swipe a playoff spot from the Bengals.

 

The Raiders will have to scramble to fit Palmer’s prorated $11 million base salary under the salary cap. As of early October, the Raiders had $6.1 million in cap space.

 

The fact that the Raiders have given up a first-round pick, and possibly two, means that Palmer isn’t a one-year rental. And that could mean the Raiders don’t particularly like what they’ve seen so far from Terrelle Pryor, who now lands in line behind Palmer on the succession plan.

Carson Palmer to the Raiders now official. Compensation expected to be a 1 in 2012 and a conditional 1 in 2013.

Raiders also explored the possibility of a trade for Eagles QB Vince Young. But Hue Jackson wanted to be reunited with Carson Palmer.
