"Jason Campbell is going to remain the Raiders starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, perhaps even beyond the time when Bruce Gradkowski returns from a right shoulder sprain, coach Tom Cable said Monday.

This statement comes a week or so after Cable said Gradkowski was the "clear-cut" starter and that there was "no issue" regarding that situation.

"I really haven't wavered, but I do have a belief in me about when you're dealing it and you got the hot hand, and things are going in the right direction for your football team, why would you make a change?" Cable said.

Campbell has guided the Raiders to victories in three straight games, while throwing only one interception.

Cable said he will make a definitive decision next Monday. The Raiders are off this Sunday. Campbell and Gradkowski weren't available for comment.

A week earlier Cable said it didn't matter how well Campbell played, "We know who our quarterback is." That was in reference to Gradkowski.

So, why the change?

"It's not really making a change," Cable said. "(Campbell) was a starter before I made the change with Bruce, and he's kind of come back and done a lot of good things for our team."

Jacoby Ford has gone from seldom-used rookie wide receiver from Clemson to a household name in two weeks. He made a quantum leap after catching six passes for 148 yards and returning four kicks for 158 yards against the Chiefs on Sunday.

"I heard from a lot of people back home," Ford said Monday. "My family, definitely, and just a lot of friends that were back there watching the game. They televised it back home, which they usually never do. So, a lot of people got a chance to see me play. I received a lot of love from a lot of people.""
