The Oakland Raiders (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=oak) have struggled to get anything going on offense in the first two games of this season. And it doesn't look like a reprieve is coming anytime soon.
Raiders coach Art Shell said quarterback Aaron Brooks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4781) will be sidelined two to four weeks with a strained pectoral muscle suffered in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=bal), reports ESPN.com's John Clayton.
Brook was removed in the first quarter, with what was first thought to be a shoulder injury, after twice losing fumbled snaps to end Oakland's first two possessions. Both turnovers led to Ravens field goals. When Oakland got the ball a third time, Andrew Walter (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7245) was inserted at quarterback. Brooks probably was hurt while he was trying to pounce on the ball near the line of scrimmage.
Brooks was signed as a free agent to take over for Kerry Collins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3115), but he has had difficulty moving the offense. He was pulled last week in the Raiders' season-opening 27-0 loss to San Diego on Monday night.
