Head coach Dennis Allen has named undrafted rookie Matt McGloin the starter for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

The announcement comes three days after the young quarterback from Penn State led the team to their first road victory, defeating the Houston Texans 28-23. McGloin threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

Pryor continues to rehab a sprained MCL in his right knee but McGloin took full advantage of his opportunity.

Allen also said they will continue to monitor Pryor's health and evaluate where he is at as the days progress. But for now, McGloin is getting the start under center for the Raiders.
