Raiders quarterbacks ailing in practice

Alameda, CA (Sports Network) - Oakland Raiders quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and Andrew Walter both failed to fully participate in practice Thursday due to injury.
Russell sat out last Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers with a knee injury. The 2007 first overall pick has six touchdowns and four interceptions in eight starts for the 2-7 Raiders. He was limited in practice Thursday, and it is unknown whether he will be ready to play on Sunday against the Dolphins.
Walter completed 14-of-32 passes for 143 yards and two interceptions in his start Sunday against the Panthers. He suffered a high ankle sprain late in the game and was not a participant in Thursday's practice session. Sunday marked the first start for the 26-year-old since starting eight games in 2006.
Marques Tuiasosopo is the other Oakland quarterback, and he threw for four yards on 1-of-2 passing Sunday in a brief stint.
