Despite comeback heroics by JaMarcus Russell against the Broncos on Sunday, Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable said that Charlie Frye would start next week against the Cleveland Browns if he is healthy enough to play.

Frye left the game with an apparent concussion, leaving Russell to take the reigns.

Russell led the team on a 10-play 62-yard scoring drive that ended with a 10-yard game winning touchdown pass to Chaz Schilens with 39 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

For his efforts, Russell was awarded the game ball according to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune.
