Darren McFadden Injury Update


As most of you Raiders fans already know, Darren McFadden was no-go in the loss against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday due to turf toe.

It was pretty obvious that the Raiders really missed McFadden coming out of the backfield. Not like McFadden is having a Adrian Peterson-like rookie campaign with only one rushing touchdown and 434 total yards, but having an extra threat on the ground definitely would have improved their chances of competing with the Ravens last weekend.

More bad news for McFadden as his fullback Justin Griffith is out for the season with a torn ACL in the loss to Baltimore Sunday.

As for McFadden's turf toe (big toe on right foot), no reports of the severity have come in, but most believe he will play next Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Oakland.
