McClain returns to practice, McFadden still absent

By Steve Corkran
Friday, November 4th, 2011 at 11:17 am in Oakland Raiders.

Middle linebacker Rolando McClain is practicing today for the first time since he hurt his leg. He missed the past five practices. His return today signifies that he has a realistic shot at playing against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

There’s little or no chance of running back Darren McFadden playing Sunday. He isn’t at practice once again, making it six straight since he suffered a mid-foot sprain against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 23.

Michael Bush and Taiwan Jones are getting all the reps at running back in anticipating of their filling in for McFadden on Sunday. Bush is expected to make his first start of the season, with Jones getting his most extensive playing time of the year.

Cornerbacks Chris Johnson and Chimdi Chekwa aren’t practicing, either. Johnson likely will be ruled out later today. It’s also a long-shot for Chekwa to play. Hence, the signing of veteran Lito Sheppard.

Kicker Sebastian Janikowski is at practice. However, he has yet to attempt any field goals in almost three weeks. Coach Hue Jackson said he wants to see Janikowski test his injured left (kicking leg) hamstring before he commits to using him Sunday.

At one point, Janikowski donned a helmet and lined up as if he was going to kick off. Ultimately, he kicked the ball a short distance with his right foot. So, he remains a question mark until further notice.

The Raiders signed kicker Dave Rayner the day before the Chiefs game. So, it’s conceivable that they won’t make a decision on Janikowski until tomorrow at some point.

Wide receiver Louis Murphy is being used as a gunner on punt coverage now that Derek Hagan isn’t on the roster. Take that either as a sign of his versatility or a sign of his decreased importance in the offense.

Murphy appeared to tweak his groin early in practice. A trainer spent several minutes stretching out Murphy’s groin soon thereafter. He missed the first five games this season as a result of groin surgery during training camp.

The Raiders play the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night, Nov. 10, in the first of such games by NFL Network. One of the network’s reporters, Mike Mayock, is at practice today.

Naturally, the Raiders allowed Mayock far better access than they do for the media that cover the team on a daily basis. Guess the NFL doesn’t hold the employees of the network it owns to the same guidelines that it does other credentialed media.

    Some. Not too much.

    You take it for what it’s worth. You watch practice, interview guys, compile stats and info, put a spin on it and offer up your own commentary. These guys can’t help but be subjective.

    I probably put more stock in real journalists.

    Hard to justify NOT letting Bush carry the load if he’s getting it done. give the man 30 carries. His legs should be fresh with less than 9 carries per game (on avg) this season. Plus he’s getting big bucks. Jones making peanuts

    Hue will roll with the hot hand. If Bush is getting 3 yards per carry and Jones is getting 5, guess who will get the bigger workload in the 2nd half?

    Hard to justify NOT letting Bush carry the load if he’s getting it done. give the man 30 carries. His legs should be fresh with less than 9 carries per game (on avg) this season. Plus he’s getting big bucks. Jones making peanuts

    ===============================================

    This is a game where the offense should be able to exploit a weak Bunco secondary. They have not been getting much of a rush, and they certainly have not been covering anyone back there. All that being said, it could still take a while to get the timing right. Especially on deep balls.

    On the other side, hopefully McClain is back to full strength. He might be the most important factor in the entire game, as McGehee claims he is going to play with a broken hand, but Teblow has been a big factor running. Having McClain there to run him down, might prevent any Bunco offense.

    - Excited to see a full game from Palmer and his comfort level with the offense and WR. He will light years ahead of the KC game, but I hope we ease him in. Game management, no TO’s, and some timely throws are all we should need against Denver.
    – Bush usually has played well in DMac’s absence, but we always missed DMac’s speed. Enter Taiwan Jones. I expect a big game from the rook as a speedy compliment to Bush as the main back.
    – Defense should spy Tebow, rush Tebow, hit Tebow, make Tebow cough up the ball. Do not fear Tebow. Attack him and make him prove he can throw it by the 8 man box. See Lions, Detroit.
    – Tebow has been sacked 12 times last two games…bring it defense. Confuse and destroy in Q1. Give the Denver O no hope.
    – This is a must win heading to SD on Thurs. Put the KC game in the rear view mirror. The time for a Silver & Black win streak starts now.
    – That being said i expect a tough game until the Raiders finally pull away. Denver is still an NFL team and got embarrased last week. Our talent should win out.

    Well, let the DEF mix some coverages, but not go overboard, don’t let Tebow run and we should win. Better watch the TE Lafell.

Let him learn to play with his team, not be the team, so we can play like a team and not stand around and wait for him to make a play. We do need possession receivers (always been a Biletnikoff over Branch fan) so Housh gotta show me something by the Charger game, or he can blow.

    Still think we should have picked up T.O. Instead of TJ owens is more of an all around threat where TJ just goes across the middle. If a team mans up on tj he’s not effective but will be good against zones. Reminds me of Hines ward he is also slow and is easily covered in man to man. T.O. Can still beat man coverage and seymour would keep him in check. Anyone agree?
