The Oakland Raideres will have Terrelle Pryor under center for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers.<\/p>\n

“He is symptom-free, so he’s clear,” head coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Raiders have also moved Matt Flynn, who started last week, to third string promoting undrafted rookie Matt McGloin to the backup role.<\/p>\n

TIME CHANGE:<\/strong> Raiders and Chargers kickoff time changed<\/a><\/p>\n

“Listen, it is what it is,” Allen said, via ESPN<\/a>. “It hasn’t worked out like we anticipated and we’ve got to make decisions and we’ve got to move forward and continue to go, and [Flynn is] going to continue to battle and scratch and claw, and I still believe that he’s a capable quarterback. But we’re going to give McGloin a chance.”<\/p>\n

McGloined beat out fourth round draft pick Tyler Wilson for the third string job this preseason.<\/p>\n

“I like what [McGloin] brings to the table, as far as his competitiveness. He’s got some moxie to him. He just understands how to play the game. And I don’t think it’s too big for him. I think he’ll come in, if he’s called upon, to run the offense [and] I think he’ll do a good job. He’s smart, he throws an accurate ball, he’s got good arm strength, he’s good in decision-making. So I like what this kid has to work with.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
