Raiders LB Darren McFadden, DT Richard Seymour Ruled Out For Second Straight Week

Found November 16, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darren McFadden,  Richard Seymour,  Mike Goodson,  Marcel Reece,  Darrius Heyward-Bey,  Tyvon Branch
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders,  New Orleans Saints
F5
Raiders running back Darren McFadden will miss a second consecutive game when the team hosts the New Orleans Saints this coming Sunday. McFadden reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain during the first half of Oakland's Nov. 4 matchup with Tampa Bay and was inactive for last Sunday's loss at Baltimore. Backup Mike Goodson, also dealing with a sprained ankle, was also declared out for a second straight week, meaning Marcel Reece will likely again serve as the lead back against the Saints. Oakland also won't have veteran defensive tackle Richard Seymour for Sunday's contest due to knee and hamstring injuries, while wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (hamstring) and safety Tyvon Branch (neck) were listed as questionable. Heyward-Bey did not practice on Thursday or Friday, while Branch was a limited participant on Friday. Source: Sports Network Attached Thumbnails
