FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Maybe the cloudy Arizona Cardinals quarterback competition between John Skelton and Kevin Kolb will clear up a bit by week’s end.

The two will get their most substantial on-field audition yet when the Cardinals are home against the Oakland Raiders on Friday night. (Arizona and Oakland are tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32.)

Coach Ken Whisenhunt, unhappy with the performance of his first-team offense and defense in the first two preseason games, says his starters will see extensive time against the Raiders. Kolb will start, but Skelton will get significant time with the first unit, too.

Neither quarterback has exactly lit it up thus far.
