Running back Taiwan Jones and free safety Michael Huff said Monday that they intend to play Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, given the magnitude of the game as the Raiders challenge for a playoff spot. Wide reciever Jacoby Ford said he is hopeful of playing Sunday. However, he won’t play unless his sore foot heals enough to where he feels as if he can make a difference. No word on running back Darren McFadden, who has missed the eight games with a right midfoot sprain. He was not in the locker room during the media-access period. Coach Hue Jackson won’t speak with the media until 2 p.m. today. “This is a one-game season,” Huff said. “I’m going to go out there and play and give my all. I don’t really worry about if I play this week that I may injure it for the playoffs because, if we don’t win the playoffs might not happen.”
