Teammates expect Oakland Raiders running back Darren
McFadden to return this week after missing three straight starts due to a high
ankle sprain, reports Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Teammates expect running back Darren McFadden to return
this week, after he missed his third straight start Sunday with a high
ankle sprain.
McFadden has been out since a Nov. 4 contest against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, during which he sustained his high ankle sprain. Fellow
running back Mike Goodson also suffered a high ankle sprain during that
contest, and both have been sidelined since.
In their place, the Raiders have gone with a trio of running
backs, with Marcel Reece and Jeremy Stewart getting a majority of the carries.
Reece had over 100 total yards (74 rushing, 29 receiving) for Oakland last
weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals.
