Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable confirmed that JaMarcus Russell arrived at minicamp in much better shape than expected. Russell showed up to mini-camp ready to play, he outperformed the other veteran quarterbacks, although Bruce Gradkowski is sidelined with a torn chest muscle. "Let's not make something out of a ghost here," Cable said of Russell's misreported playing weight. "The kid's working his tail off." Source: Cam Inman, Contra Costa Times
