Raiders QB Frye lands on season-ending injured reserve

NAPA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders placed backup quarterback Charlie Frye on injured reserve Thursday with a right wrist issue.

Raiders coach Tom Cable said it will take four to five months for Frye to rehabilitate the hurt ligament. Frye underwent surgery earlier this week and will miss the entire season.

Frye started three games for the Raiders last season. He completed 61 percent of his passes for 581 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions.

The Raiders signed tight end Eric Butler to take Frye's place on the roster. They also have Jason Campbell, Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Boller and Colt Brennan at quarterback.
