Jay Glazer reports that quarterback David Garrard informed him that he is in need of an immediate surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back.
The injury supposedly happened back in training camp so Garrard is choosing to have surgery now after the pain has increased.
The Raiders were reported be seriously interested in signing Garrard following the injury to Jason Campbell. This could turn their attention to Kyle Orton as a Carson Palmer trae still seems like a long shot at this point in time.
