Oakland Raiders Injury Update: Darren McFadden is Fine and Jacoby Ford Expects to Play

You seldom get any injury information from Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson until he is mandated to release it. Apparently his good spirits from the victory over the Jets loosened up his lips.

Hue Jackson, as quoted by Steve Corkran, on McFadden's injury:

"You had to mention that name. No, I think he’ll be fine. I really do. It tightened up on him moreso than anything. I’m going to be very cautious with him to make sure he’s OK, but he’ll be fine."

This jives with what McFadden had to say after the game. So good news all around—Run DMC is fine.

That was as far as Hue's good spirits would lead lead him down his revelatory path. Jacoby Ford took it upon himself to update his own status.

Here is Ford, from the same article by Corkran:

"Right now, it’s day to day. This week definitely is day to day. I ran today, and that was the best I’ve felt. So far, it’s looking good for playing this week."

I am sure Jacoby is itching to get back on the field. This guy wants to play all the time anyway, and he now is facing the realization that Denarius Moore is getting into what was supposed to be Ford's featured role in the offense.

There is no news from the rest of the guys. That is probably good news as far as Matt Shuaghnessy's shoulder goes.

Good

we are gonna need to control the clock against the Pats and keep the ball away from Brady. Also Ford brings us another deep threat to stretch the field, Ford and Moore going deep is gonna be deadly.

So far we have been one of the worst teams in the NFL at returning kicks, so Jacoby’s return is really going to help.

Build Ford Tough

Ford is Dangerous, better watch out,
Watch him take the ball all the way to the house,
Blazing speed you cant even see,
watch number 12 blow you out of your seat,
he can catch, he can run,
New England Patriots here he comes!
Go Jacoby!!!
