Looks like Raiders starting QB JaMarcus Russell is going to need some offseason surgery. That is according to today’s Sacramento Bee:

Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell might need ankle surgery this offseason, team owner Al Davis said Wednesday. Russell is in Alameda after spending some time back home in Mobile, Ala. “He’s got some physical problems that have to be taken care of,” Davis said. “I think his ankle was bothering him at the end of the year. He had some chips in there so they may have to do something with that.” Russell injured his ankle Nov. 16 in Miami but finished the season without missing any time. A knee injury cost Russell the Nov. 9 game against the Carolina Panthers.
