With Terrelle Pryor and Matt Flynn battling for the starting quarterback position, Oakland was forced to keep undrafted free agent rookie Matt McGloin as he outplayed fourth-rounder Tyler Wilson in the preseason.
In addition, tackle Willie Smith was waived with the “injured” designation, offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom was placed on injured reserve, and receiver Andre Holmes was placed on the reserve suspended list.
