Collins back in as Raiders starter

Alameda, CA - Oakland quarterback Kerry Collins, who was benched last week in favor of Marques Tuiasosopo, will reassume the role of starter this Sunday against Cleveland.

Collins was demoted after completing just 22 of his 40 pass attempts for 236 yards with one touchdown pass and an interception in the Raiders' 34-10 loss to the San Diego Chargers in Week 13, which dropped Oakland to 4-8.

Tuiasosopo did not change the team's fortunes as hoped. In just his second career start, the Washington product went 14-of-26 for 124 yards with a TD and two interceptions, as the Raiders fell to the lowly New York Jets, 26-10.

On the season, Collins has thrown for 3,118 yards on 245-of-446 throwing with 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 12 games.
