Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden was able to
practice Monday despite re-injuring his ankle during last Thursday night’s loss
to the Denver Broncos, reports Steve Corkran of Contra Costa Times.

There was worry among the Raiders and their fans when
McFadden appeared to re-injure his ankle against the Broncos. The running back
was coming off a significant ankle injury and his status for this week’s
contest against the Kansas City Chiefs was unknown.
However, practicing is always a good sign, and it would
appear the McFadden is on track to start against the Chiefs.
McFadden sustained a high-ankle sprain in early Nov. during
a contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was put in a walking boot and
held out of the team’s next few games before rejoining the starting lineup last
Thursday.
